A game that seems to define the sorry football career of Iain Turner...bright young goalie but ultimately failed to make it.

I was at the match mentioned away to Chelsea & also the home match versus Blackburn Rovers. I vividly recall the atmosphere changing at Goodison at the rather severe sending off of a rookie 'keeper. I just knew we would go on to win that match. In much the same way I just knew we would lose the '85 Cup Final the moment Moran was sent off!

I have to say I was always more impressed with what I saw of Ruddy than Turner & felt we let him go a bit too easily, even if he was unlikely to become first choice for Everton.

Gosh, 17 years ago. I was at that game. I sit in-line with the Gwladys St 18-yard box, so the Stubbs/Turner cock-up was right in front of me. I can remember watching it unfold almost in slow motion.
Beattie did leap like a salmon at the Park End to score the winner.
I'd forgotten about all the disallowed goals, but do remember the ground was rocking.

During lockdown Liverpool FC, put up a flag that wrote nobody does it better, with regards to their supporters. They are not called the self-proclaimers for nothing, are they!

During lockdown Liverpool FC, finally lost their unbeaten record that had stretched for 68 games, against Burnley, and suddenly they were missing their supporters, more than any other set of fans. You couldn't make it up, but they could.

When I saw you writing about this game David, I instinctively remembered it because of the noise inside Goodison Pk, that day.

Goodison Pk, has saved Everton, many times, and we need it to start saving us again🤞
