Carlisle Utd v Everton 29-03-1975

[@andrewc4612]

Carlisle v Everton must have been a rather unlikely fixture at one time, then again, Carlisle also came up against the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Leeds, Liverpool etc. in the 1974-75 campaign. Though sadly for them, their experience of The First Division was rather brief, as they returned to The Second after just one season ...

Carlisle were relegated that season and we Everton lost the chance to be English champions because of this game! We also lost to Carlisle 2-3 at home that season over the Xmas period so they beat us home and away and which was 4 points lost and we also lost the league by 3 points! Never forget it! Everton fc always the bridesmaids never the bride. RIP JOHN HURST great EVERTON MAN.

Everton could/should have won the league that season. But losing to Carlisle (who were relegated) both home and away fucked that!

carlisle were very unfortunate to go down that season, it sounds obvious but 25 defeats did for them, if they'd turned a few of those losses into draws they'd have survived, apart from a 5-2 loss at a brilliant Stoke city they were never really hammered, great memories

How shite were dai Davis and Dave Lawson no wonder we won nothing.
