1995 FA Cup Semi-Final

Can't help with the programme John, but agreed - a great match to watch even on the box. Amokachi was a hero - here's a youtube goal highligh link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=515QJhovCvw made me smile remembering and watching thoes bits!

My kid girl, sadly no longer keen on the great game (though still a background fan) made me a blue glove puppet with cats whiskers and christened it: Amo-Cati

Sigh, those were the days. May they soon return under our new regime. Good luck on your quest.

Hi John - If it is the programme you are after visit Blueblooded.co.uk they have a copy for sale at ٥.50p

The game itself must be on one of the club's official FA Victories DVD's but not sure the whole game is available anywhere.

I've got an Everton DVD of the game which I bought online from the Everton website a few years ago. I would contact them, to see if they have any copies left. Agree, it was a great game, I was lucky enought to get a ticket.

I have it on VHS recorded off the TV at the time along with the quarter-final against Newcastle (remember Watson's header) and the final, which I missed due to an Alton Towers trip. (Somehow I managed to avoid the score until I got home to watch it!)

Try the club shop; I am sure I have seen it in there.

I've just had a load of VHS converted to DVD of old Everton stuff. I didn't bother with the 95 semi-final, as I thought it was out on DVD already?

The 1995 Semi Final. The day we destroyed the 'Dream Final' and no one outside this City gave us a chance. Many said it was the best performance of any Blues side in the 1990s.

About 10 ten years ago I bought a box set of 'The FA Cup Everton classic collection' and there is DVD of the full match in it.

A quick search on e bay and you can find it.

It was a real Gold Star game in the history of the club.

I do wonder, as I did at the time, if the set-up of the fans gave us an advantage – from memory, Spurs having the huge 'European Stand', with us having the other three – statistically right I'm sure but having the three smaller stands inc both goals must have helped. Had we lost, I may have said the opposite, though.

The day Amokachi secured his name in Everton folklore.

What really thrilled me from that game at the time — and continues to do so — is the first, goal. A brilliant near-post header powered in by Matt Jackson off a fantastic corner by Andy Hinchcliffe.

Please, someone sit Roberto down in front of that, make him watch it a few times, and then tell us that it is not an exquisite example of the perfect way to score — from a corner — in a beautiful game.

I've still got it on VHS somewhere. Funny how well I remember the footage, not so much the goals but the fans.

Big lad waved off by Rideout... Never quite got there.

The guy with the glasses after the 3rd goal, not quite letting himself go crazy.

And the grey haired guy after the 4th looking amazed and just taking in the moment. I think I saw him at the final wearing a tee-shirt of that image.

Great game. In my panic to secure tickets for me and a mate, I managed to end up with 1 spare. Happily went into the Leeds Utd social club at the ground pre-match, knowing I'd have no problem getting rid of the ticket after (face value of course).

30 mins before KO went outside our stand, and absolutely no-one was looking for spares. 10 mins before KO I was willing to give it away FOC - still no joy. Didn't want to risk missing any of the game, so went in 5 mins to KO.

Of course my Dad has to put a downer on it when he tells me about people on the radio phone ins complaining they'd paid 2, 3 times face value outside!

Back to the OP - I got a copy in the Everton One store a few years back – dunno if they still have them, but they're easy enough to produce in small batches.

One of my most memorable days supporting the Blues, and one of the best 90 mins I ever witnessed. Watched it back immediately after at a mates place nearby, and recall the commentator stating that it had gone from 2-2 to 3-1 in 15 seconds (Southall saves from Nethercott [?] and ball rebounds to Limpar, who set up Amo's first).

It WAS a great game.

Wonderful childhood memories , I was only 13 at the time.

But , I would be wary of watching it back entirely. The game has changed and it probably won't be as good as we remember.

I did a similar thing a month or two ago. I watched a repeat of the classic Italia 90 Semi Final between England and West Germany.

Still a great watch but nowhere near what I remember.

The game is almost completely different now.

Lee, the game of football is better now, isn't it? I sure felt that way watching the World Cup, and I think we can say the same of the style Roberto has us playing. I'm glad the game has gotten better.

It probably has, Geoff. Every generation has to improve.

I still think we've lost something though. The players are far too protected now. And vastly overpaid.

But as a spectacle, the football is probably better.
