We've actually had some right belters with Everton in the last 30 years - and some of our best performances. Obviously the Ferdinand, Sinton, Allen consecutive hat tricks, the hand of Devon White on the last day of the Lower Loft, the 1-0 home win in 1987 that put us top (or second?), the 3-0 a couple of years before that when they were reigning champions I think.
Good omen in the 1991 match as well - won 3-1 after starting the season without a home win in seven and with only one win from the first 12. Barker scored a great goal right at the death.
Memories? At any of these matches? Been a while since we had a decent reminisce about the good old days
I just remembered a keeper with knee pads so looked him up and low and behold.
"He made his Premiership debut at the age of 19 on 5 December 1992 in a 3-2 defeat at Queens Park Rangers." It was for Oldham though!
I was there, blimey I remember it clearly. Can you imagine a keeper using knee pads now. Paul Gerrard did of course play for Everton hence me looking him up.

Everton were a dull, dull, physical side that had ground out a 1-0 win at West Ham in their previous away game. Don Givens scored early on and we annlihilated them!
And here are the goals
Back in those days the BBC2 news on Saturday evening used to show the goals from a game, and as we were just down the road it always seemed to be us!
Think they went down to nine men that day. Southall got sent off for handling outside the box, we went 3-0 up and then they brought Stuart Barlow on and got it back to 3-2 at one stage. Sinton got his hat trick goal to seal it 4-2. That might have been Boxing Day actually. Definitely 92/93 season.
'Twas Boxing Day - and very cold in the back row of SAR. I was part of an exclusive group (less than 100, I reckon) who went the away fixture the following season on a Tues night. Steve Yates played as a lone striker in the second half(!!!)
"Thank you for supporting Queens Park Rangers Steep Staircase"... and I thought I'd signed up for a rollercoaster.
Neil Adams and Ian Olney were the Scorers for Oldham. Andy Ritchie didn't play, but a certain Graham Sharpe did!

Whilst we're in season 92/93 - 3 things are worth remembering...
1) Ferdy was second highest scorer with 20 goals that season, behind Sherringham with 22, and just above Dean Holdsworth of Wimbledon with 19 would you believe???
2) QPR scored more hat-tricks than any other team with 3! Two by Ferdy, one by Sinton.
3) Bardsley was selected in the Team of the Season - as was Ian Wright with 15 goals (no hat-tricks), but not Ferdy with 20 goals and 2 hat-tricks!!!

Don't remember that, but I would have been there. Never missed one in those days.

in 1975 one of the very few times I sat in Ellerslie Road and a latecomer in the process of squeezing past me stood still, mesmerised in front of me watching the action as the first goal (Givens?) went in. I would like to have seen that! Never mind, we won 5-0

I've only ever been to Boundary park twice, both in the same season oddly.
I've seen him play somewhere though!
I remember Gerrard distinctly though cos those pads were odd even then.
You sitting there with a copy of Rothmans?
hahaha... memory's pretty good around this time Talli'. But have double checked a couple of things just to make sure my facts are correct!
I remember they had a decent winger who would always cut back at least 2-3 times before crossing! Rick Holden? The full back's couldn't deal with him!!
Who was the big lump who played up front (I think!) for them in the early 90's? Thick dark hair with mullet? That's bugging me!!!

I'd been on holiday in Scotland and missed Les's Saturday hat trick in the 4-3 vs Forest. 7 hour drive from wilds of Scotland to Scouseland for what was on paper a meaningless end of season midtable game ("why you going there, it'll be like watching paint dry" said my bro-in-law)...then as a bank holiday took another 5-6 hours back to London - but all worth it for one of my best ever awaydays
Last season was also an epic day - first time my then 17 year old had seen us win in the top flight
The 3-1 October 1991 game was my first ever visit to Loftus Road, sat (Stood rather) in Paddocks nearest Loftus Road end. Great times, I thought it would always be that way. Main thing I remembered was interaction with crowd and players.
