On This Day: 23/05

Everton had already secured the First Division Championship and the European Cup Winners' Cup when Liverpool came to Goodison Park ON THIS DAY in 1985.

Consequently, Howard Kendall selected a few players who weren’t classed as regulars during that never-to-be-forgotten season.

There was no Peter Reid, Paul Bracewell, Derek Mountfield, Graeme Sharp or Trevor Steven.

In their place, Howard included - Kevin Richardson, Ian Atkins, John Bailey, Paul Wilkinson and Alan Harper.

It was Wilkinson, in fact, who scored the only goal of the game - a fitting way to end the home campaign, and there was even a second half substitute run-out for Rob Wakenshaw.

The win put the Blues on 90 points with two away matches at Coventry and Luton Town still to play.
