It scarred me as a kid, I shed tears.To put things in proper context at the turn of 1986 into 1987 we were on course for a treble.
Clive Allen scoring for fun.
The league flopped, Everton won - mostly in my opinion we dropped too many points at home, we had some amazing awaydays and I was at most of those matches too. Finished 3rd Sound familiar ?
In March we went out to Arsenal in the League Cup,semi final
May 1987

- 4 March: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Arsenal Spursiest ever
FA Cup Final vs Coventry
Allen scores in the 3rd minute, I thought here we go..
