Everton 2 Blades 3, 74/75

[Coily]

I can't remember this one having been posted, so rather than the usual YouTube clips of us being beaten, here's one we actually bloody won!!!

 

[blade too long]

was in attendance on the terrace under the camera amonst the toffee fans , it ruined their title bid and remember having to move swiftly after celebrating Curries winner , inadvisedly

I was there too with the Everton fans in the big stand and sat on my hands for the first 2 but couldn't hold back when the 3rd went in..and saw about another 20 or so Blades celebrating in the same stand. Unfortunately those cheeky scousers got their revenge by bricking our coach.....bastard freezing it was coming back over the M62.

Amazing that Keith Eddy had 10 goals for the season at that stage. Or is it?
I remember that he used to take pens.

He did. He ended up with 2 more goals giving a total of 12 (9 league and 3 League Cup).

do you remember the away end ,at the back of the bottom bit the was a 4 inch ledge which was really difficult to get up onto if you were lucky enough to get a place. It was like a duck shoot and you spent the whole time shitting yourself incase a wayward shot came your way.

Out of interest Darren, can you recall how many of Eddy's goals that season were penalties?
I seem to recall Colquohoun being more of a threat from set plays than Eddy - but I were only 9 then.

Not entirely sure, but it was a fair few - probably 7ish.

Eddy was mainly a defensive midfield player (the Monty of his day), with occasional filling in at centre back.

Remember, think it was 58, we beat them 1/4, we were in there end, well mixed. Always remember there crowd were very sporting. Hagan ran the Game, at the End He got a great ovation, from the Evertonians around us.

He may have occupied a similar position on the pitch to Monty, but there vthe similarity ends. No disrespect to Monty, but Eddy's ball control and passing was vastly superior!

I was being slightly tongue in cheek....

Great corner by Woodward. Funny that our keeper had gloves and theirs didn't..can't believe that a keeper caught anything in those days on a cold January afternoon.

And he missed a pen just before half time (his effort hit the post) in the 5-1 defeat at L**ds in Sept 74 (we were 2 down at the time)

Thank you so very much for that youtube link, Coily. You've made me regress to feeling like a 15 year old at my first away league match again. The thrill of silencing 30,000 or so Scousers with that genius TC's goal. Priceless, really priceless. Then they all sang the usual, "You're gonna get yer blah blah blah 'eds kicked in!" And I didn't care. Cos it would have been worth it. And we didn't anyway.

I had to have a laugh at that post I played in goal for over 30 hrs and I remember the Gordon Banks gloves early 70s they were ok in the damp but in the dry and very wet they were shocking a few other versions with dimple lining came out they were crap but then the Sep Maier gloves came out after the 74 World Cup they werebrilliantthe ball stuck like shit to a blanket.

Keepers in those days could catch the ball.

remember Pat Jennings with the one handed catches.

Got to be one of the best ever easy top five of all time.

Can't we get him coaching Long on crosses and he will be England no1 within a year

Yea and them 1 handed catches unbeleivable

But by all accounts, "one handed" for Pat Jennings was like three normal sized mits
