That was a belter too. It was the first time we’d beaten them since 1994 I think (the last Derby in front of the old Kop). They were shite and in real relegation trouble and there was a sense in the ground that today was finally the day we’d beat them. Then they scored so early and a couple of Lonsdale clad pitch invaders came on.
I had a pretty good view of Fowler’s celebrations. I thought they were fair game for all the shit he got but obviously ended up with him getting a lengthy ban. We were hanging on at the end and Gerrard did revue is and then celebrated wildly. 
That one in ‘99 was very memorable. The minutes silence to mark 10 years since Hillsborough seemed to set the tone. The whole ground was very emotional and the atmosphere highly charged and crackling as only Anfield can.
I was on the first or second row of the Kemlyn, fairly central but towards the Anny Rd, so had a great view of Stevie’s goal line clearances. A draw would’ve been a travesty, so they were celebrated like a goal, especially the one from Cademateri (in fact they might’ve both been from him).
When Everton scored in the first minute, three Evertonians sitting next to me went berserk, wrongly judging the mood of the home supporters around them. As they jumped up and down, a cup of tea was lashed at them in anger, then another (partly soaking me) but then the best bit. As they turned round to face the barrage of verbals and assorted warm beverages that were raining down on them from an irate Kemlyn Rd stand, a ham butty was launched and smacked one of them square on the side of the face. That seemed to diffuse the tension as laughter broke out and they sat back down.
When Fowler scored his pen and did his infamous goal celebration, the three Evertonians were targeted again and unfortunately ended up being escorted out of the stand by the stewards. All a bit daft, but I hope they were let back in the away end to witness Stevie’s heroics.
