Yes there will be life at Bramley-Moore Dock. After all, Goodison was not Everton’s first home. That would be Anfield, which they vacated in the early 1890s, creating space for the birth of Liverpool.

What we saw in the closing minutes was the desperate desire to strike a blow meeting an equal and opposite commitment not to yield.

It is the sense of home and neighbourhood that is significant, even if Goodison has long been unfit for purpose, an ageing structure, poor facilities, imperfect sight lines.

The Blue House and the Winslow Hotel on Goodison Road are relics of an industrial period out of step with the modern fan experience. That is not to say some do not enjoy the recreational offering, only that the nature of these old meeting houses has changed.

Tarkowski’s goal was about pride not trophies, about giving Everton fans a leg to stand on against their greatest rivals the morning after the night before.

None of it was by design. There was no time to think. The game was in its last throes, the players spent. Tarkowski, responding instinctively, put his laces through the ball and etched himself into legend. Goodbye Goodison.
