Andy Gray's Historic Goal: Everton's EUFA Winners' Cup Triumph over Rapid Vienna (1985) This iconic photograph captures the moment of jubilation as Andy Gray, the English striker for Everton Football Club, celebrates scoring the first goal in the EUFA Winners' Cup final against Rapid Vienna on May 8, 1985. The EUFA Winners' Cup, now known as the Europa League, was then Europe's secondary club football competition, and Everton's victory marked their first and only triumph in this prestigious tournament. The match took place at the Neckarstadion in Stuttgart, Germany, with over 70,000 spectators in attendance. Everton, managed by Howard Kendall, faced a formidable Austrian opponent in Rapid Vienna, who had won the Austrian league title that season. The first half ended goalless, but Everton came out stronger in the second half, with Gray's goal in the 54th minute breaking the deadlock. The Toffees went on to win the match 3-1, with further goals from Gary Stevens and Graeme Sharp. Gray's goal was a crucial moment in Everton's triumphant campaign, and this photograph encapsulates the excitement and emotion of the moment. The Everton faithful, who had traveled in large numbers to Germany to support their team, erupted in celebration, and Gray himself is shown here with a broad grin on his face, arms aloft, and a triumphant look in his eyes. This photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer Joe Mann, is a testament to the passion and determination of Everton Football Club and their fans, and a reminder of their historic EUFA Winners' Cup victory in 1985.
