Great goalmouth scramble at the end ! Happy days they were. Shortly before Nev turned his ankle and the season turned way from us. One title that we should have strolled home.
Skipper Steve Perrymans last match for Spurs. Made his debut in 1969 with Jimmy Greaves, Alan Gilzean and Alan Mullary went on to win two FA cups, 2 UEFA cups and 2 League Cups
I was at this game...i bunked school with our Paul We were only 14 and went to Tottenham we got back at 4 in the morning then went to school a few hours later braggin were we've been.
The injuries we had that season was horrendous. Mountfield, Stevens, Sheedy, Bracewell, Reid and then the worst of all, the best goalkeeper in the world. We were lucky the season before with only Inchy being injured. Fully fit team then the title would have been over in April.
What a wonderful advert for the English game before TV got control over kick off times and match days on a Sunday or Monday that has diminished the atmospheres of Saturday afternoon and mid week that was once the norm. I always rated Alan Harper, a reliable all round talent who played a big role in the glory years, 1984-87. Alan could play full back, centre back, and right midfield with ease. Perhaps Howard Kendall's only misjudgement in this period, was not bringing Alan on as his only substitute in the 1985 FA Cup final against Man Utd. Late in the second half, Andy Gray, who had been magnificent that season, could barely run down the right wing after a through ball. I was seated nearby. United were down to ten men, and bringing Alan on to allow Trevor Steven to move inside with Graeme Sharp could have changed the outcome. As it had done in previous games that season. Telford in the FA Cup was one example. 3 quick goals came along to win the tie. United stretched Everton wide with their wingers. Alan would have had the pace to nullify Olsen or Strachan. Howard, when asked about not changing a team that had played in a European Final three days earlier, said he didn't want to upset the team that had nearly won a treble.
No. I was lucky. I generally watched games at Goodison from the stands so it was only at big games away that I was on the terraces. But at numerous grounds it was uncomfortable at times. Hillsborough - never again.
We started this season with some very impressive wins with only a marginal loss to Everton in early September... Tottenham were good enough (player wise) to have finished in the Top 6. Too many changes in line-ups throughout the season. Not helped by the injury to Clive Allen and Roberts missing a few games. Shouldn't have let Hazard and Roberts go.
That track pitch side was awful turned to sludge in the rain absolutely lethal when it was dry (remember Lee Chapman needed plastic surgery when he face planted on to it?)
Started the game with a back four Alan Harper Ratcliffe Van Den Hauwe Pointon. Ratcliffe went of injured. Heath came on as substitute. Kevin Richardson went right back and Harper went sweeper alongside Van Den Hauwe. Harper was awesome that night. Kendal said he played like Beckenbauer. That was the 5th rnd. Had to go to Luton 3 days later for the quarter final. Getting beat 2 nil and come back to force a replay which we won. Had some character in that side from 84-87. Southall getting injured cost us the double and 3 league titles on the bounce.
@@antonioandolini8771 too true! Just look at the players that were unavailable that night. Gary Steven's, Mountfield, Ratcliffe injured, Sheedy, Reid and Bracewell carrying injuries. Spurs were a good side then. I always said injuries robbed us of the double. Liverpool had Grob the drop, Beglin, Whelan, McDonald, Molby, Johnston, yes of course you would have beaten a fully fit Everton side.🤣🤣🤣
I still reckon we would have done the double if Big Nev hadn’t got injured... no offence Bobby.
what a game ! love the 80ties

Everton's away support amazing as ever!! Must have 8,000 behind that goal for midweek game!
Nowhere near! 4,500 max - and that will include the seats above. 2/3rds of the Park lane terrace was filled.
@@apathyintheuk265 Well that would have been about 75% more than the spuds would brought to Goodison!
@@martinkulkarni3569 Yeah probably.
Best thing about our club mate.
@@martinkulkarni3569 how many did we bring in 83
What a great keeper Neville southall was!!
Beautiful and rainy play...what a fantastic trouble on everton's side at the end. Classic for movie! Thanks for video.

Have to say I was surprised Perryman was still playing in '86.
What a player and servant he was for Spurs. Pleat put together a terrific team the following season.

Anyone wish they were celebrating goals on the terracing again.

Hoddle, Waddle .... doddle!
1:28 the state of gary mabbutt reminds me of the time I had to clean up my 6 month old son in a restaurant toilets in 2011. Nightmare.

Summer football ? Be quiet Motty 😂😂😂...Lineker should have been booked for that dive lol....Everton had a cracking team then
Who played defence for Everton when Ratcliffe was out?
Only 3 at the back ? (Harper, Pointon, Van den Hauwe)
