Everton 4-1 Tottenham (FA Cup Semi Final 1995)

[@peterweterp]

Great cross for the 4th. RIP Gary Ablett

[@mrlister2000]

I was there behind the goal when Amo scored his goals. The atmosphere that day was unbelievable. Having 3 sides of the ground certainly helped! Spurs spanked in a semi-final too. What a day

[@teresagreenslade5790]

In the south stand, 3 sides of the ground everton , great day and night when we got off the train at lime street. When football was the working mans game.

Amokachi went from zero to hero spurs did not know what to do with him, oh what awesome memories

[@bluenose921]

Was lucky to go to all of the 80s semi finals , but this was the best by far . Had to be honest ,did not see this coming before the game .

[@ihateyoumother-fucker3204]

Little did we know, these were the final days of when the FA cup actually meant something and still had a magical & irresistible charm about it. Fans of the pitch, hugging players = the competition carried real weight, respect and prestige about it. Also, the excitement of the semi finals being played at neutral top tier grounds (Hillsbrough, Highbury, Villa Park, Old Trafford in this case Elland Road) added to that special occasion. Such a shame that nothing lasts forever because as prestigious as the competition will always be for the older generation of fans, deep,down you know its importance has been diluted and whored out (all semis now being played at Wembley) because to win either the PL or CL is where the all important money lies. Such a shame, but great, great memories for those that are lucky enough to remember.

[@olayinkaamara385]

Always thought the 90s was the last decade in which the FA Cup truly meant something.

[@oliverchapman893]

Perhaps they should make it so the top 3 in the league and the FA cup winners qualify for the champions league. That would make it important again.

[@redflag8970]

For teams that win nothing the fa cup should be a must to go for.

[@theculturedthug6609]

To make the fa cup massive again they should give a champions league spot or big money to whomever wins it.

My favorite game. Everyone had Utd v Spurs as the final including me!! Fantastic day. Have to say that was a shit pass from Limpar to Ablett for our 4th, superb recovery from Ablett to set Amokachi up.

Blue everywhere at Elland Road that day Knew we would win before the game started when i saw the look on the Everton players faces on the coach as it arrived especially Graham Stuart knew they were up for it and there was only one team and one set of supporters going home happy Great day and great memory

[@eemobile6875]

The days when semi finals were played at other stadiums other than Wembley definitely lost something

[@user-gd1ow9kb1q]

Went that day, and was one our best performances of the season. This was the match that Joe Parkinson came of age. It was like a home game with us having 3 sides of the stadium.

[@ppppickup]

why did you get 3 sides

[@lesmartinsings]

Prior to the match the build up by the BBC pundits had been about their perspective and preferable "dream final" as if Everton were bad for business, as they were expecting Klinsmans Spurs to win and meet Man Utd at Wembley. Well happy to rain on their parade as us Everton fans got our dream final and our dream result !.

[@michealflaithbheartaigh4139]

I think my favourite memory of that day was Royle's press conference afterwards ...( To the media regarding the hyped and anticipated United v Spurs final ) .... ' Sorry you didn't get your dream final lads '

[@martinkulkarni3569]

The media hate us. They still do, or haven’t you noticed! It goes back to Harry Catterick in the sixties. He hated the press, didn’t trust them, quite rightly, and so would tell his players they were not to talk to the press. Imagine not being able to interview the Holy Trinity of Alan Ball, Colin Harvey and Howard Kendall, who we know were the greatest British midfield ever, even though Harvey and Kendall barely won an England cap between them because they didn’t play in London or weren’t Manchester United players! The media have never forgiven us and never will.

[@johnj3577]

We were the dogs of war this season. We beat all the top teams and lost against all the lower ones. I was at this match and no way were we gonna lose it. The fans were intimidating and had most of the stadium and the players were well up for it too. Amo was right in front of me when he celebrated too and I still remember willing Gary Ablett to get that ball across with every fibre of my being, God rest his soul. Fuckin awesome day and great memories.

[@tobechukwuezenachukwu7629]

Amokachi came in as a substitute in this game by lying to a coaching staff that the coach wanted him in the game as substitute for an injured player; the coach never said that. 😂😂

[@jamesgibb4945]

Best moment of the 90's UTFT

[@donovanmclean5486]

Here's some facts , Amokachi " The Bull" came on as a substitute by telling the linesman that he was the authorized substitute for the injured striker, without the Coach knowledge.The Coach was furious.But the Bull was right as the Coach didn't know what he was doing

[@TheGiantKillers]

Always associate this with Alan Green's radio commentary

On this day in 1995 we took on Tottenham in the FA cup semi final at Elland Road. I remember this game very well. I said that after 5 minutes playing that we would win this game, we started that well and played some lovely football as well. We had three sides of the ground and it was like a home game for us. Klinsman won a dubious penalty, and scored the only goal we would concede in that cup run. It should be said that the great Neville Southall was very close to saving that penalty.

[@demetrios21]

Sheringham won the penalty, not Klinsmann

[@redflag8970]

3 sides but equal allocation spurs had the big side

This was the famous game where Everton surprised everyone and beat Tottenham to survive relegation. The game had it all. Amokachi being Evertons first Black scorer since Derek Mountfield. Neville Southalls penalty save from Sheringham. And Klinsmann so upset he almost retired but agreed at the last minute to play at Italia 90 and ended up winning the world cup and scoring the decisive penalty (albeit Baggio missed the really crucial one).

The whole country wanted spurs to win that year cos of there football was a joy,but unfortunately the dogs of war destroyed the myth.
