I still have it in my head -

1986 European Cup winners: Everton FC

Final: beat Barcelona 2-0 (Lineker, Mountfield)
have had a similar score in my head since then too! - barca weren't that great at the time and we have done them- carrying on our impetus from 1985 and our winning mentality

Our name would have been on the cup that year and the final in Spain as well, but, alas NEC (No European Cup)!

1986-87 would have meant Liverpool and us in the competition with the final in Vienna, but, alas "It means nothing to me, this means nothing to me.................Oh Vienna"

I defo still care about our trophy haul and reminding other fans’ clubs that we’re the 4th most successful team.

I get that it’s been a while and people are fed up hearing about history but that’s one of the main things that a club is. It’s all history. Winning the league last year or 100 years ago, they are both history and with the passage of time, they’re both viewed the same.

Lots of massive clubs have gone through long fallow periods. It’s not like we’ve spent 10 years in League 2.

I’m not really bothered whether other clubs’ fans are knowledgeable enough to know about our history and our size as a club. It doesn’t change anything and it doesn’t alter my pride in the club one iota.

That’s on them.
