Random great Everton goals #1

Graeme Sharp – Everton v Tottenham Hotspur
Goodison, January 30th 1982


Although naturally pessimistic and cynical, even I am optimistic looking ahead to the forthcoming season. With a squad containing as many talented individuals as we’ve had for a good few years and boosted by Mikel Arteta’s contract extension, I can’t wait for Saturday’s opener at Ewood Park. When we will no doubt not show up and dip 2-0. In my current good humour then, it’s time for a (probably short) series of great Everton goals from across the ages, that maybe meant little in the grand scheme of the club’s history, but are in their own right little gems

In its own way as good as his far more famous strike at Anfield a couple of years later, this particular effort came in a 1-1 draw. One of the first real indications of Sharp’s talent and promise.
