This iconic photograph captures the electrifying moment when Everton Football Club secured their historic victory in the 1985 European Cup Winners' Cup Final against Rapid Vienna. In the image, Everton's Dutch striker Pat van den Hauwe and defender Derek Mountfield enthusiastically celebrate the opening goal, which was scored by their teammate Andy Gray. The goal, which came in the 18th minute of the match, put Everton in a commanding position and set the tone for the rest of the game. The atmosphere at Goodison Park was electric as Everton, under the management of Howard Kendall, sought to make history by becoming the first English team to win all three major European trophies. The team had already claimed the FA Cup and the League Championship, and the European Cup Winners' Cup was the only major European title missing from their collection. The Rapid Vienna defence, in disbelief, appeal for offside as Gray's goal was initially ruled out by the linesman, but the referee overruled the decision, much to the relief and delight of the Everton players and fans. The team went on to win the match 3-1, securing their place in European football history. This photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer Peter Robbins, perfectly encapsulates the excitement, passion, and determination of Everton Football Club during their triumphant European campaign. It serves as a reminder of the team's incredible achievements and their place in the annals of football history.
