A miracle in one of our darkest times! The atmosphere at Goodison Park on 7 May 1994 was electric and also a little surreal as Everton survived relegation on the final day of the season with a dramatic comeback against Wimbledon.
The Main Stand was packed, the Gwladys Street was rammed, the Bullens Road was full to the brim, but the Park Stand didn’t exist! It was a three-sided stadium that greeted Everton and Wimbledon for a contest that the Blues simply could not lose. Just one win from the previous 10 Premier League fixtures had left Everton on the cusp of relegation for only the third time in the Club’s history.
The Blues began the match in the bottom three, a single point behind Southampton, Sheffield United and Ipswich Town, and one ahead of Joe Royle’s Oldham Athletic. There were too many permutations to contemplate so Mike Walker’s team simply had to win.
Wimbledon, by contrast, were flying high in sixth position and were looking for a win to cement their highest ever Premier League finish.
And if you want to experience that rollercoaster day - or put yourself through it all over again - tune in from 7pm BST on Saturday 9 May 2020 to watch along with fellow Blues and talk it over in the live chat!
