In the second leg of the European Cup Winners’ Cup semi-final, the Germans took a first half lead - the first leg had finished goalless but goals from Graeme Sharp, Andy Gray and a beauty from Trevor Steven provided Goodison Park with one of its great European nights.
Sadly, although that great side also won the First Division that year, they could not compete in the European Cup because English clubs were banned following the Heysel tragedy, which unfolded two weeks after Everton had won the Cup Winners’ Cup final in Rotterdam.

Having entered the tournament with an obvious air of mystery and as 1000-1 outsiders, the North Koreans rocked up at Goodison Park as relative no-hopers against a Portuguese side that had sent Brazil and Pele packing in the group stages. But Rye-Hyun Myung’s side opened the scoring inside 60 seconds and were soon three up.
Eusebio would later describe Goodison Park as his favourite stadium and no wonder. He scored four times as Portugal fought back for a win that lived long in the memories of the 41,000 spectators.

On Boxing Day, 1920, Dick, Kerr Ladies (Dick, Kerr and co. was a locomotive and tramcar company) played St Helens Ladies in front of a 53,000 crowd at Goodison Park. Remarkably, 15,000 people were locked out of a game that featured a hat-trick for Alice Kell.
The match raised money for an injured soldiers charity but the wider significance of the occasion was that it, indirectly, led to the FA - annoyed that women’s game was so well-supported - banning women from using official pitches, an outrage that lasted for 50 years.

In the last league game of the 1927-28 season, a crowd of 48,000 saw the completion of the greatest individual scoring feat in the history of English football.
When William Ralph ‘Dixie’ Dean completed his hat-trick eight minutes from the end of a 3-3 draw, it meant he had scored SIXTY league goals in a single season.
Imagine what Dixie would be worth nowadays. After retiring from focal, he ran the Dublin Packet pub in Chester.

One of the greatest-ever FA Cup ties, the replay featured mistakes, stunning goals and two equalisers from Tony Cottee that sent Goodison Park into a frenzy.
A couple of days later, Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish stood down, a decision, of course, that had to do with a lot more than the incredible drama that had unfolded at Goodison Park.
There have been a lot of memorable derbies at Goodison - this season’s instalment was not too bad - but this one tops the lot.
