Life-long Everton fan Paul Stratton has opened up on the moment he scored in front of the Gwladys Street faithful and spoke of his shock at how things unfolded.
In one of the most heartwarming moments you are likely to see in football, Stratton scored a penalty in front of thousands of fans at Goodison Park during Everton’s 'Match For Peace' against Dynamo Kyiv. The fixture was played as part of the Blues’ pre-season campaign back in July.
The 44-year-old was sent on to the pitch in the closing moments by then Blues boss Frank Lampard and netted his spot-kick at the Howard Kendall Gwladys Street end. The footage was then shared across the world on news channels and social media.
