My best goodison moment isn't even inside it. Queueing overnight with my mate around goodison for 1995 cup final tickets at 145 ears old. Brilliant atmosphere, loads of us chatting and then the mad dash with abandoned chairs and tents like it was Glastonbury to get a ticket. Never seen anything like it before or since.
I remember it well, got there about Saturday tea time with my camping chairs, we counted and were about 90 from the front, good crack and an orderly queue all night, then about 6am all hell broke loose as people turned up en masse, I got within spitting distance of ticket office to be then told it was sold out, had a right argument with the moustached horseback copper that you always used to see on match days. From there drove to Highfield road to watch us against Coventry. Saw Kenwright in the car park there, where he had the cheek to tell me he “hadn’t got his mum a ticket yet” when I told him about the farce of the night before. I lost a lot of respect for him that day.
Fuckinell! Really enjoyed that. Loved what they did with the name Goodison, incorporating the Archibald Leitch design into it - props to the design team there!
Many moments had me close, but it was the bit about Super Kev with his lad that finally caused the tears to spill. Recommend everyone takes time to watch this.

Some of those goals were special. I watched Davy Thomas make that break from the Gladys street.. you could see Latchford sprinting in parallel and that little look up was exquisite... he knew exactly where he was and how much weight to put on the cross. Bob didn't even need to move

Yeah, decent that. Could have done without and Judi Dench and the poem bit though.
Peter Reid is class
Dont say that about Judi.
I wish Moshiri wasnt on there. But very good overall.

As I live in Devon I don't get to Goodison as often as I would like, so I'll share my favourite in person game (by far).
It was the 2-1 win against Arsenal in December 2016 on a Tuesday night. Sanchez scored for Arsenal in the first half before Coleman equalised in the 2nd half and Ashley Williams scored a 86th minute winner, before a nail biting last 10 minutes where Iwobi and I think Monreal should have scored having efforts cleared off the line and Jags also got sent off. Incredible game to go to, Goodison was in full voice that night.
I was in the Upper Bullens that night, but here is the winner:

Don't know if it's my favourite game but my favourite moment is also against Arsenal
Only YouTube clip of it seems to lose pixels every year!
