Golden goals: Trevor Steven (1985)

"If you talk to any Evertonian who was there that night, who actually got in this ground that night, and you said, 'You can take one game to the grave with you'. Say there was 55,000, I'm betting you 50,000 would take this game with them."

The words of Andy Gray during the brilliant Howard's Way film regarding the 1985 European Cup Winners' Cup semi-final second leg against Bayern Munich are not hyperbole. Admittedly the official crowd figure was 49,476, but that apart, Gray was accurate in his belief that the majority of Everton fans would view April 24, 1985 as the ultimate night in the history of Goodison Park.
