But it was something that happened in the minutes that followed the full-time chaos that made you realise why so many supporters are going to miss this iconic venue.
Blues supporters had already worked their way through their songbook when Elton John’s 'I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues' started to play over the PA.
What happened next was spine-tingling.
Those who remained inside Goodison began to sing the 1982 hit in unison.

You can just picture the scene
A big victory has just been secured, and those in attendance start to sing 'I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues'
