Was at this game. Huge City fan, travelled down in the back of a transit van with a load of my united supporting mates accompanied by endless cases of beer. Great day and great result. This Everton team was brilliant, would have had a great chance for the European cup, such a shame they were denied that chance, and we all know why don't we?

Remember this game, man United fan, in my opinion this Everton team would have won the European cup but for Liverpool, they'd have taken some stopping.. Excellent team

What a starting 11 that was.  My god, happy days.

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

that was the only charity shield match that i ever remembered the scoreline for over thirty years.2-0?i vaguely remember seeing the two goals on tv.so that must have been about a week before the 1985-6 season.imagine if we all woke up tomorrow and this match was on and the whole world was back in 1985-6 for the entire season!imagine knowing that we could all leave this monstrosity behind for a year and have 1985-6 instead!heavenly bliss!

2 absolute classic kits from that era

If Everton hadn't played the Cup Winners Cup final 3 days before the FA Cup final, they would've won that & the treble, the previous season.
The players were shattered having travelled from Rotterdam to London the next day, trained for 1 day and the played the FA Cup Final.
As a result of this, the number of days between cup finals was changed to allow teams more time to rest.

My first ever live match. Had to choose who to support. I liked colour blue more than red so chose Everton. I’ve been an avid fan from that day to this.
I have had days where I wished I like red as a kid. 😄

I'm not a United fan, but I always loved that United kit, it looked ultra modern for that time... Wasn't this the season there was dispute between the Football League and the TV companies? I believe this was the last domestic football match aired (albeit just highlights) until about February of the following year..?

Did life seem normal back then ?

that is so weird how old football from our day,how little bits and brief glimpses,in all the matches start to resemble the ultra modern much more technically advanced football of the last five to ten years.the football of today.everton ,even in the late 1970s,played modern passing,neat,pinball football in patches!

A great everton kit.

If you'd have said to Robbo Whiteside and McGrath theres a hydration break they'd probably open a can of lager. Happy times.

Saturday 10th August 1985

The best game EVER,, It had everything x,

@18:14 ...Andy Gray would've had the ball and Gary Bailey in the back of the net!

Just before the tv blackout,united won their first 10 games and the press went berserk tipping them to stroll to the title,as a 14 year old city fan I thought we could stop their run about 6 games in (got well beat 3 nil)oh and Liverpool won the title!!

Very rare McGrath mistake 28 mins.

7:05 first goal
