Everton - 125 Great Everton Premiership Goals DVD

Advantages: Re live a glorious European semi-final from the 80's
Disadvantages: It makes you sad we aren't this good anymore!

..., British Championship winners & British Club Champions, as well as the European Cup Winners' Cup title added in 1985. The clubs most successful eras have been the 1930's, 60's and 80's, the latter two being largely dominated by the club. I was fortunate enough to grow up during one of the clubs most successful era's, the only negative being that I have had to endure over 20 years of dross and sadness since, as the club have declined and are quite possibly playing the worst football in the 125+ year history .... great !! Anyway, this DVD is a great way to re-live one of Everton's past glories, with many of the players involved from the era sighting this particular game as their greatest moment in an Everton shirt. As the DVD blurb points out ... "Managers and players will tell you that winning a Semi-Final of any competition can be more... Read review

Advantages: Exciting, entertaining, innovative
Disadvantages: Lack of BBC/SKY commentary

...Having owned Everton season review videos and DVDs heralding back to 1996/97, I can honestly say over the years they've been a grim watch- the constant battles against relegation, disturbing lack of goals, and defeat after defeat, contributing to a depressing watch for all Evertonians. Ray Stubbs succinctly sets the scene of the mood at Goodison Park in the summer of 2004- the disasterous end to the 2003-04 season which had seen the Blues fourth bottom with their lowest points total for a hundred years, the boardroom struggle, the dark days of the Rooney sale, when it just seemed Everton were in for another season of relegation struggle- the critics predicted doom and morale hit an almighty low. But the revival and transformation throughout the course of the season adds to the drama of this DVD- how Everton went from no... Read review

Advantages: About 10 good goals
Disadvantages: 240 rubbish goals, poor case, picture quality, slow replays (to name a few)

...My mum bought me the '250 Greatest Premiership Goals DVD' a few Christmas' ago now, and when I unwrapped it I was initially very excited about the DVD. However, the word 'greatest' is used rather liberally when applied to this DVD. I was expecting 250 goals full of sublime passing, awesome movement, lovely neat inter-play and stunning finishes. In actual reality, I got about 10 good goals and 240 other goals that in my eyes cannot be classed as great! There are an awful lot of these DVD's around with compilations of great goals, but this one is the worst that I have seen. The front case is very poor with dreadful pictures and horrible writing and a poor layout. The DVD doesn't run particularly smoothly and the picture quality was dreadful. **Features** Well, obviously you would think that there are 250 goals on this DVD. However... Read review
