bit of a boring year

I can tell you exactly what was happening, on 29th May 1985 Liverpool fans were fighting with Juventus fans at Heysel causing 39 Italians to die. UEFA then decided to ban all English clubs from Europe for 5 years. Everton had the best team in Europe at that time & it was ruined because most of the players wanted to play in Europe & so left us, thereby robbing us of a glory period despite the incident having nothing to do with us. As this was happening my mum was in labour with me, I was born just after midnight meaning I was born on the 30th

[dead_bodys_everywhere]

seems i was the highlight of my year - everything else was a bit......crap

Only if the ref who awarded the penalty decided to make us retake it because of encroachment by 2 of their players & 1 of ours even though the encroachment had no affect on the outcome in any way. At least we got through though, it was bringing back memories of Collina, the baldy :censor:

[Calisto]
