Graeme Sharp: Team spirit was the key to Everton FC's 1984/85 glory (GALLERY)
TWENTY-FIVE years ago when Everton proudly paraded the Canon League Championship around Goodison Park, the ECHO was there on hand to capture the jubilant scenes.However, since 1985 one batch of photographs had remained in our archives unseen, UNTIL NOW...[LNB] THE memories in Graeme Sharp's mind are still every bit as vivid as the photographs on this page.[LNB]Even after 25 years and countless conversations, the former Everton centre forward displays not a flicker of boredom in discussing the extra-special period of the club's history which he spearheaded.[LNB]In particular, the amiable Scot still cherishes the cast-iron team spirit which propelled the glorious 1984/85 season.[LNB]Sharp and the majority of that team were reunited in March for a 25th anniversary celebration of the historic 1984/85 league and European Cup Winners Cup team.[LNB] Show Caption But despite that milestone, it still feels like yesterday for him.[LNB]'I can't believe all this time has passed,' he said.[LNB]'Some of us met up last week and I think it took everyone by surprise when it dawned that it was 25 years ago.[LNB]'It was hard trying to get them all over. The likes of Pat Van Den Hauwe who lives in South Africa now, and Adrian Heath who manages in the States.[LNB]'It was a special time for the football club and we went down in history so it's nice that we got together.'[LNB]Of course supporters marked that season their own way, many naming offspring after the team.
