Tottenham 1 Everton 2 - 04 March 1986 - FA Cup 5th Round

Goals from Adrian Heath and Gary Lineker help Everton into the FA Cup Quarter-Finals

[@spanishpeaches2930]

Great goalmouth scramble at the end ! Happy days they were. Shortly before Nev turned his ankle and the season turned way from us. One title that we should have strolled home.

[@tracybarr8057]

I still reckon we would have done the double if Big Nev hadn’t got injured... no offence Bobby.

what a game ! love the 80ties

[@paulmcallister8948]

Everton's away support amazing as ever!! Must have 8,000 behind that goal for midweek game!

[@apathyintheuk265]

Nowhere near! 4,500 max - and that will include the seats above. 2/3rds of the Park lane terrace was filled.

Skipper Steve Perrymans last match for Spurs. Made his debut in 1969 with Jimmy Greaves, Alan Gilzean and Alan Mullary went on to win two FA cups, 2 UEFA cups and 2 League Cups

[@spanishpeaches2930]

Have to say I was surprised Perryman was still playing in '86.

[@garethfieldstead7547]

What a player and servant he was for Spurs. Pleat put together a terrific team the following season.

I was at this game...i bunked school with our Paul We were only 14 and went to Tottenham we got back at 4 in the morning then went to school a few hours later braggin were we've been.

[@carltheblue.2531]

We had some tasty encounters with spur’s lad’s.. We always showed Everton

[@mikedavies9953]

How Everton didnt win the league this year ill never know i think this was there best ever team with Lineker and Sharp

[@garethfieldstead7547]

The injuries we had that season was horrendous. Mountfield, Stevens, Sheedy, Bracewell, Reid and then the worst of all, the best goalkeeper in the world. We were lucky the season before with only Inchy being injured. Fully fit team then the title would have been over in April.

[@chrisd66]

Wonderful stuff!

[@carpediem4290]

What a football!!!!...never seen before overall in last minutes. Nothing to compare with today!!! Thanks Premier League...

[@fisherpeter695]

What a wonderful advert for the English game before TV got control over kick off times and match days on a Sunday or Monday that has diminished the atmospheres of Saturday afternoon and mid week that was once the norm. I always rated Alan Harper, a reliable all round talent who played a big role in the glory years, 1984-87. Alan could play full back, centre back, and right midfield with ease. Perhaps Howard Kendall's only misjudgement in this period, was not bringing Alan on as his only substitute in the 1985 FA Cup final against Man Utd. Late in the second half, Andy Gray, who had been magnificent that season, could barely run down the right wing after a through ball. I was seated nearby. United were down to ten men, and bringing Alan on to allow Trevor Steven to move inside with Graeme Sharp could have changed the outcome. As it had done in previous games that season. Telford in the FA Cup was one example. 3 quick goals came along to win the tie. United stretched Everton wide with their wingers. Alan would have had the pace to nullify Olsen or Strachan. Howard, when asked about not changing a team that had played in a European Final three days earlier, said he didn't want to upset the team that had nearly won a treble.

Still the best Everton side of all time come on Everton 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@anthonykilgannon3443]

Anyone wish they were celebrating goals on the terracing again.

[@garethfieldstead7547]

No. I was lucky. I generally watched games at Goodison from the stands so it was only at big games away that I was on the terraces. But at numerous grounds it was uncomfortable at times. Hillsborough - never again.

[@williamgeoffreyjones3421]

The hardest Double

[@thelstanedwardsson4374]

We started this season with some very impressive wins with only a marginal loss to Everton in early September... Tottenham were good enough (player wise) to have finished in the Top 6. Too many changes in line-ups throughout the season. Not helped by the injury to Clive Allen and Roberts missing a few games. Shouldn't have let Hazard and Roberts go.

[@crispy7945]

That track pitch side was awful turned to sludge in the rain absolutely lethal when it was dry (remember Lee Chapman needed plastic surgery when he face planted on to it?)

[@nielssteffenssen8852]

Who played defence for Everton when Ratcliffe was out? Only 3 at the back ? (Harper, Pointon, Van den Hauwe)

[@antonioandolini8771]

Started the game with a back four Alan Harper Ratcliffe Van Den Hauwe Pointon. Ratcliffe went of injured. Heath came on as substitute. Kevin Richardson went right back and Harper went sweeper alongside Van Den Hauwe. Harper was awesome that night. Kendal said he played like Beckenbauer. That was the 5th rnd. Had to go to Luton 3 days later for the quarter final. Getting beat 2 nil and come back to force a replay which we won. Had some character in that side from 84-87. Southall getting injured cost us the double and 3 league titles on the bounce.

[@garethfieldstead7547]

@@antonioandolini8771 too true! Just look at the players that were unavailable that night. Gary Steven's, Mountfield, Ratcliffe injured, Sheedy, Reid and Bracewell carrying injuries. Spurs were a good side then. I always said injuries robbed us of the double. Liverpool had Grob the drop, Beglin, Whelan, McDonald, Molby, Johnston, yes of course you would have beaten a fully fit Everton side.🤣🤣🤣
