GI SCORING RATIONALE
The high point of post-war Everton. Hugely respected, often under-celebrated outside Merseyside. Heysel denied them lasting European legacy, but their greatness is clear to those who watched.
First Division champions by 13 points. European Cup Winners’ Cup champions. FA Cup finalists. One of the most complete seasons by any English club.
Revered in Evertonian lore. Less visible internationally due to the English ban. But still a reference point for 80s football perfection in Britain.
Gray’s goal vs Bayern. Inchy’s late winner. Winning the league at Anfield a year later was iconic too. Not overloaded with mythic moments, but unforgettable to fans.
Midfield dynamism, clever strikers, and the best defence in the league. The energy of Reid, the goals of Sharp, the composure of Ratcliffe and Mountfield. Electrifying and efficient.
