1989, my first away game. We lost, Dalian scored the only goal.

Cheers. That same season or the following autumn?

According to 11v11 it was 16 September 1989. Our starting lineup was:
Nigel Spink
Derek Mountfield
Chris Price
Kevin Gage
Stuart Gray
Paul McGrath
Bernard Gallacher
David Platt
Nigel Callaghan
Adrian Heath
Ian Olney

Put Tony Daley, Kent Nielsen and Ian Ormondroyd in that team and I reckon we could challenge for the title.

I hope they wait until after the Cardiff game to start the work, as I'll be in there...

What really grinds my gears is the lack of footage over the development of the new Everton stadium. Sort it out social media!

Not unless you're in the away end, you won't be.

The Comer brothers from Galway wanted to buy us before Randy stepped-in. Construction experts, bring them back on board.

Also experts on leaving properties derelict....be careful what you wish for

I thought it was the opposite - they swoop-in to buy distressed assets, ghost-estates and the like, and tart them up to eventually sell-on at a profit.
