We asked for your favourite Merseyside derby memories before Wednesday’s final Goodison Park meeting between Liverpool and Everton.
Here are some of your replies:
Peter: It was 6 December 1969. I was 13 years old. Nil-nil at half time. Minutes after the break, Emlyn Hughes scored from a ball from Cally [Ian Callaghan] – 0-1, it was anyone’s game. Then it happened. A cross came over from Thommo [Peter Thompson] but Everton full back Sandy Brown had it covered. With a spectacular diving header he sent the ball into his own net. I was at the front and could see the round, muddy mark of the ball on the right side of his forehead for the rest of the game. A great game, a great win for Liverpool at Goodison. But, all we were talking about for weeks, months perhaps even years after was Sandy Brown’s amazing own goal.
Simon: I was nine and went to the derby at the beginning of the 1966-67 season. To see Ray Wilson and Roger Hunt parading the recently won World Cup is a vision that I’ll never forget.
Stephen: Went to Goodison as a Reds fan in 2001 – Riise with his run and Gerrard with his first derby goal at Goodison. Won 3-1, sat in top tier of the main stand – wow that was steep. Had to climb up the steps, was a ground to behold in the 80s. Can understand leaving but that Goodison crowd always is mental.
Andrew: When the all-time record goalscorer for Liverpool scored four goals at Goodison Park. Kopites still sing about that night 40 odd years on.
