THE CLASS of '95 is back in town this spring - to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Everton's last major silverware.[LNB]It was in May 1995 that Dave Watson lifted the FA Cup at Wembley Stadium after Joe Royle's Dogs of War shocked Alex Ferguson's Manchester United.[LNB]There have been numerous get togethers since then, but for the first time in almost a decade the entire FA Cup winning side has agreed to return to Merseyside for a celebration.[LNB]Many of Joe Royle's trophy winning side have now settled abroad.[LNB]Matchwinner Paul Rideout coaches at Kansas City Wiz, the man whose break created the goal, Anders Limpar, is back in his native Stockholm, while Daniel Amokachi is still involved in football, coaching in Nigeria.[LNB]Last season's near miss means that the 1995 triumph was the fifth and final time the Blues raised the FA Cup aloft.[LNB]That was the season Joe Royle took charge with the Blues marooned at the foot of the Premier League table.
