I’ve always had a soft spot for Everton, which comes from having a liking for the “other” team in two-club cities (Everton, Man City, Espanyol, Cercle Bruge - it’s a weird list).
Weird to say but in many ways that season was grimmer than some of the time in non league. Some really terrible games and performances in front of what would now be considered abysmal attendances for top flight football. I saw one decent away result at Forest but we were battered in that game as well.

People who think Sky have destroyed football should really take a look at a few of the seasons preceding their involvement in it.
