Whats the best goal you have seen live at Goodison? You can pick an opposition goal, if you must.
Mine is Wayne's "Remember the Name" goal. Level of expectation around that kid was unreal and to deliver like that was ...wonderful. My dad was there and oldest mate, Stoke fan (but closet Evertonian) had a spare ticket too.
In return I went to a Stoke 0-0 Derby at the Britannia, love to say I am a closet Stoke fan.. but it was freezing and horrible.

Trickys goal against Bayern was special….but one goal I still enjoy which kinda slipped under the radar was Jermaine Beckford winner against Chelsea…..ran from basically the edge of our box to run around the keeper and slot….great goal and all the pundits could say was he got lucky with a rebound of John Terry ,,,,

I find the Beckford goal more hilarious than "good" in that sense.
At absolutely no point during that run did he properly have control of the ball, still great though.

That’s what made it even more enjoyable……like watching Eddie the eagle at the olympics ski jumping….you just wanted him to keep going….

I really can’t answer this, so many for so many reasons, Rooney’s Arsenal goal, any of Andy Gray’s diving headers, Barry Horne’s Wimbledon equaliser, Leon Osman’s in the Europa league, probably of the top of my head was Sheedy’s twice taken free kick against Ipswich in the cup, just the audacity to pop it in both corners.

I was lucky enough to start going in 81/82 season and regularly from 84 on until moving away in 2019.

Rooney Vs West Ham for me.
Garnacho’s was ludicrous. Completely sucked the life out the game as everyone spent the rest of the game baffled at what they had just seen.
Osman Vs larissa has to get a mention. Arteta Vs bolton as well.

Remember it well. Paul Copper was no mug in goal either, so doing him twice was genius

Arteta's against Fiorentina was a pretty special moment. It was that moment when you thought "Hang on a minute, we're still in this competition." Unfortunately, we couldn't get over the line in the end, but that moment as pretty special.

Louis Saha 2 v 1 Chelsea, King Louis out-thought Terry twice to beat him with movement for both goals. The second was a cracker and he had the luxury of missing a penalty as well. What a player Saha was, regal.

Not sure “great” but memorable for me was the Bily snapshot goal vs Utd. Just a crisp clean hit and I like that type of finish.
Beattie scored a BEAUTIFUL chip vs Fulham
There was a Campbell Jeffers one-two combo and I can’t for the life of me remember who it was against.
McFadden vs Charlton & Fulham
