Will no doubt have been mentioned but the Gary Mac one, my first derby at Goodison and the catalyst for the fantastic run in we had.  The scenes at the end were fantastic and when I watch clips again just love seeing Sammy Lee and Houllier's reaction.
Didi Hamann

In the corridors and changing rooms of Anfield I met many people - the great, the talented, the legendary.  I know that I only met one genius.  He was a small, smiling man with a neatly clipped beard.  His name was Rafael Benitez.

Off the top of my head, an no particular order,

- Gary Macs goal
- Robbie sniffing the line
- Rush scored 4
- Aldo 89 cup final
- Rosenthal's last minute winner
- Robbie's late winner
- David Burrows screamer
- Rushies equaliser about 30 seconds after Everton had taken the lead
- Rushies winner in the 87 league cup
- McMahon and Reid
- Houghton's header
- Beardsley getting kissed by a koppite

There are so many. I'm sure I've missed some.

Beating them 3-2 at Goodison. Stood in the Gladys Street with about 50 to 100 Reds all packed in behind Southall's goal. Bin bags being thrown around as he came out for his warm up.
Singing my heart out the entire match (even after Hysen's og) whilst tea, coffee, dodgy pies and coins were lobbed at us. Digger was amazing that game - rammed the shit that he was getting from the nobheads right back down their throats.
Didn't stop bouncing the entire match and had the biggest grin for days. Quality

was lucky enough to be in the park end when Emlyn scored 2 in the 70's
also remember being there when Alan waddle got the only goal of the game

remember 1 game in the 70's,stopped at the Cheshire yeoman on the way to the game,was having a drink,when Richie the driver realised he'd left his derby tickets back in rhyl,went back to pick them up,while the rest of us hitched it,he got to anfield at half-time with the reds already 3-0 up,only goal he saw was a consolation in the second half for the blueshite!!!

3-1 at Anfield in '06. Was me 1st derby in the Kop and it was fucking class.

Pissed ourselves laughing at Neville's own goal then celebrated like mad after typical quality Garcia lob and then Kewell rounded it off with a belter. 8)

Hopefully more of the same Sunday.

86 final, i was only a young kid at the time and my dad managed to get us both a ticket....  the ground was packed and we were in the lower tier behind the goal opposite the tunnel... for the first 5 mins I couldn't see a thing... had some bloke jump over a wall and land on me.... that triggered my dad to climb up to the front of the second tier..it was my first real look at the stadium from the inside, perfect view...an image that I will always remember.... 

1 nil down and at half time I turned to my dad and said " don't worry we always play better in the second half" to which he laughed.... the rest is history... I could just make out jockey lifting the cup and it glinting in the early evening sun....

Recent years I would go for the garry mac game, and a bit further back the ronnie rosenthal 93 minute winner towards the kop....

and then afterwards he said, "i thought they were the lpool fans".

There's been plenty lets be honest, but one of the best ( and certainly the oddest ) was the FA Cup semi Final in 1971 at O/T.

I was 13 then in Alder Hey childrens hospital ( due to have my cartliage out at that age ! ) my parents came round to see me before the op, and I was quite groggy from the pre op injection, but asked them the score.... 1-0 to Everton my dad said.

I'll always remember my mum saying to him ' what did you say that for '

Anyway, had the op and afterwards when I came round the first thing the nurse said to me was ' WE won 2-1 ' must have been a red herself, and couldn't wait to tell me.


( pity it all ended in tears thanks to that flukey gunners win in May like ! )

More recent one was at the pit, when some dirty fucker broke Beglins leg, there was over 50k there, night cup game I think.

We had all the pressure, but just couldn't score, hit the woodwork, near misses and the bin man having a blinder in goal.

Then up pops Rushie near the end to win it, the reds were all over the ground and went fuckin mental !! Still got that game on a old video somewhere, must dig it out and relive that night.

19 years old and its King Eddie cigars and hipflask brandy with me Red mate in the park end of their top balcony 85/86, Kenny floats one into the binman's street end net from the corner of the box 20 yards out after 20 seconds. Kenny's first signing then makes it 3 just before HT..its ex- blue Steve McMahon just to rub it in. 2 to the BAWS in 2nd half just made it all the more entertaining. Me mate had a tenspot on 3-1 to us and cheered when we missed a sitter to go 4-1 up. Floated down the escalator afterwards shoutin ar heads off. Great kit, great result, great day, made greater when we later got hold of the full 90 on VHS commentary by Martin Tyler which was a bit of a novelty at the time. Bladdered that night Arkles Park Albert Sandon George -style. Halcyon days.. out of Europe but the future felt bright.

Being in the Street End in a little mob of fellow reds, as we rinsed the blueshite 3-0 in the first half, with our goals scored at our end.

Then there was a nailbiting 45 mins as they managed to bring it back to 3-2.

Gary Mac's goal has got to be up there with the greatest moments in my football lifetime.  Liverpool v Everton games at either ground are still the biggest games for me.  You don't have to see mancs everyday but you do blues, whether you're in school work etc.  Am going to be up the wall for a few weeks if we don't win on saturday.

It was. Usually hundreds behing The Gladys goal. The Park End and up to the half way line in the paddock and the encolusre. The stands on both sides as I recall were full of reds. I was in the enclosure.

Easy for me.

Wembley 1986-Outshines any game i've ever seen.

The Charity Shield & The League cup final at Wembley in '84 were special too,0-1 defeat  in the CS didn't spoil the day too much.

The 2-3 victory at Woodison when Kenny popped up with a 27 second screamer is up there with my favourites in league meetings,there was fucking loads of us in the Gwladys st end that day-great game too.

Yeah, was in the Bullens road paddock towards the Park End. The usual blueshites were right in front of us and a few of them started cheering when Beglin was carried off. It kicked off for a few minutes like it usually did in the Bullens those days and we had the last laugh with Rushie's goal.
Beglin was a much better player than a commentator.

So many good memories probably because we have won far more than we have lost over the last 30 years or more. My 'best' or most memorable memory would probably be 1986 Wembley. After travelling down in a car with 3 blue nose we all agreed to meet along the wall at the top of Wembley way after the game. Seemed like a sound enough idea until after the game when I walked out of the ground as high as a kite and got to the agreed meeting spot only to find a human wall of miserable looking Evertonians stood along the wall as far as you could see. Obviously we werent the only one with that idea of a meeting place.

I do remember I actually felt a bit sorry for them all.
