its a shame so many teams had to leave these old grounds, they have so much history, character & atmosphere that the new grounds rarely have.
Goodison park the most famous ground in the world will miss the old girl keep the faith everton fans 💙💙💙
my heart will always be at Goodison Park. love the new iconic stadium but i step foot inside Goodison aged 12 1967 v west ham. five world cup winners from 1966 at wembley were on the pitch. i remember looking up at the Leitch main stand from Gwladys Street..awesome. thanks for a wonderful video and love the music at the end. Dusty Springfield?...perfect
Been an Everton supporter since 1968, I have seen many great games and good times at Goodison Park, especially the mid 80s but now this great old club is going through bad times both on and off the field, we need change and so I can't wait until we start a new chapter at our new ground at Bramley Moore Dock. COYB
The most famous ground in the world keep the faith everton fans come on Everton
Brilliant, so many great memories. It’s 60 years since my Dad took me to Goodison for the first time age 7. Be sad to see it go.
Thank you. Beautiful video. Tear jerker at the end.
Jeez! The montage at the end had me in tears. Ok, i've had a few this evening.🙂 Thanks Rob.
Having watched the blues since the late 1950s it is great that this footage can show how wonderful stadium Goodison was. Ken mentioned the Goodison Road terracing the stretched under the main stand.
It was accessed from turnstiles in Goodison Road from the park end to the Church end, and up stairs to reach to higher standing areas
My late Father often took me under the clock high on the terrace were I first saw Bobby Collins Jimmy Harris Roy Vernon and Mickey Lill on the forward line. One regret is that any TV gantry was always on a cradle suspended from the Goodison Road stand, and we never had a TV mounted on the Bullens Road until the 70s
The sight of the vast crowd that stood on the Goodison Road terrace was incredible. But no footage remains.
My favourite speck in Goodison was the mid point, half way up in the old Park End stand. Seeing every part of he ground clearly.
I recall seeing the great Alex Young give his finest ever display on a warm Wednesday evening in August 1965 when he scored a hat trick against a top Sheffield Wednesday team in a 5-1 win and who they would meet later that season in the FA Cup final, where Alex Young led the line with great skill that was often overlooked by Mike Trebilcock's exploits.
Goodison in my opinion, is has iconic as the Centre Court at Wimbledon and Twickenham. given its place in the heritage of England's place as the home of football. The great PELE played his only competitive games in England at Goodison Park, a fact few fans seem to know about, And also you could walk around the ground to other areas in the early 60s and at the reserves games.
Yes I remember those turnstiles so well.
Marvellous stuff lads, as always!
Fantastic video bringing me some great memories of our great club 💙
That’s the best video I’ve seen on Everton. Close to tears at the end there. Brilliant! Go on the blue boys!
I am not an Everton supporter But ... Goodison Park has been one of The Best Football Grounds in the country up to the end of the 1980s. It has hosted an F.A. Cup Final, many F.A. Cup Semies, Home International matches and World Cup Final Matches and of course its Everton's Home. Time and circumstances move on ... remember you left Anfield as the rent was far to high, and the landlord set up his own team! so you went across the park to Goodison. This time "You are On The Banks of The Royal Blue Mersey" and when travelers enter Liverpool on The Mersey, it will be Everton at the helm of The City! ... All The Best and I am proud to say I had a pivotal roll in securing your move.
are you going to reveal yourself?
@@peterwhitaker4038 No problem, I am / was Councilor David Cummings representing Wavertree Ward from 2015 -19 2019 - 23
I was on the planning committee and I voted to except the plans for you new stadium. I did not except the expansion plans on Anfield Road as it interfered the road of Anfield Road and Stanley Park.
thankyou for reply best wishes@@merseydave1
the same mistake as West Ham , Arsenal.... Also Goodison Park could be upgraded, expaned the west and south stand,...Now. loosing the soul, tradition, Pele played here, .loosing .the suburb, the roots interesting neighbourhood connection to Anfield stadium,...loosing the hill, just to get an instant steril stadium Bowl type like many others are today and positioned like many others today next to the sea or river . It is a interesting positon but in relationship to Goodison Park values it is nothing. It is a new type of shopping centre
@@ljiljacucak Everton F.C. studied what could be done to enlarge Goodison Park, yet three sides of the ground are land locked. Yes they could enlarge The Park End but could do nothing with the rest of the ground, furthermore those parts of the ground are becoming outdated.
That is why they have to move and Progress ... as I said, you will be "On The Banks of The Royal Blue Mersey" and at The Helm of The City!.
love goodison park will have a tear in my eye next year i was 6 in 1969 my 1st game stoke city we won 6.2 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Cracking interview and video
I can't remember which side it was, almost certain it was the Main Stand, but my first game was in 1999 in a cup replay against Exeter City, seeing those floodlights for the first time will never leave me, the sight of Goodison now still makes me feel like that awestruck 7 year old even though I've had a season ticket for 17 years now. Brilliant video.
I can't explain the feeling us Evertonians get when we walk into Goodison. I don't get there as often as I'd like but it feels me with pride and passion for my love of Everton. From a boy of 9 in 66 to the last time I visited aged 67. Once a blue always a blue. Nil satis nisi optimum
I still get the same feeling now.
As I did the first time I walked in
Have to stop reading these comments, otherwise I'll be in tears all night. I loved Goodison. And Everton of course. 1962/63 season was my inaugural season. I was 9.
My first game was in 1971 when we played Southampton and won 8 - 0! Experienced the Joy through the eighties - even went to Rotterdam for the final. God has the journey been largely painful ever since but once a blue!
I just wished they had showed Alan Ball's goal against Liverpool in that famous 5th round F.A. cup game. That was a night that still gives me goosebumps thinking about it. I'm 71.
Copyright in favour of Pathe News, which has a clip of that game YT.
I was in the Gwladys Street stand that night still have the ticket stub. 5/6
On it you see a remarkable incident when Alex Young centre goal shapes up the hammer a shot on goal, and Ian Callaghan runs straight across him, and Ref, Kevin Howley waved play on instead of a direct free kick for blatant obstruction. Thankfully it never altered the result.
Everton were unlucky in the 1967 FA Cup year, beat Burnley Wolves top sides , Liverpool then lost at Notts Forest to a late goal. They finished runners up in the league that year.
What a club
Very ol toffee here. Remember going to Goodison Park with a pal in the mid to late 50s,Boys Pen 6 pence/ a tanner. 21/2 pence in today's money. Happy Days.
Going to miss those obstructed view seats. Sought-after for many Evertonians and often the most expensive seats (after the really pricey ones that faced away from the pitch).
Great video. The only thing missing for me was when and why were the half moons put in behind both goals. I suspect it was done to facilitate the World Cup at the old lady. Great if anyone could give some info. COYB
Good times when the players passed the ball to each other and the forwards could actualy score goals....those were the days eh?.. sadly missed😫😫
Big mistake leaving your spiritual home. From an owl who's watched Wednesday play many times at this iconic stadium
Je suis bien de votre avis
Also, in the montage at the end, can anyone explain the reasoning behind us wearing our away kit when we were at home? Cheers
Move with the times or get left behind
the same mistake as West Ham , Arsenal.... Also Goodison Park could be upgraded, increased the west and south stand,...
