In the latest edition of Goodison Park: My Home, Chris Beesley speaks to a true Everton hero, Graham Stuart on the 30th anniversary of the “Great Escape.”
On May 7, 1994, Stuart saved Everton Football Club with a stirring two-goal display in their dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Wimbledon to complete a “Great Escape” from relegation on the final day of the Premier League season.
With their top flight status on the line, the Blues recovered from going 2-0 down just 20 minutes into the contest against an in-form Wimbledon side as Stuart halved the deficit with one of the biggest-pressure penalties in the history of ‘The Grand Old Lady’ before netting the winner nine minutes from the end to take his side out of the drop zone for the first time all day.
Just a year later, Stuart was part of the team that beat Manchester United 1-0 at Wembley to lift the FA Cup – Everton’s last major trophy to date – while these days he is back with his beloved Blues, working as a club ambassador.
