This vintage photograph captures a pivotal moment in Everton Football Club's history as Trevor Steven scores the opening goal in the 1985 Charity Shield against Manchester United. The Charity Shield, an annual football match contested by the winners of the previous season's FA Cup and the league champions, marked the start of the 1985-86 season. Steven, a versatile midfielder, joined Everton in 1983 and quickly became a fan favorite with his tenacious playing style and goalscoring ability. In this game, played at Wembley Stadium on August 11, 1985, Steven put Everton ahead with a powerful strike from just outside the penalty area, sending the Toffees' supporters into raptures. The 1985 Charity Shield was a significant occasion for Everton, as they were looking to bounce back from a disappointing 1984-85 campaign, which saw them finish a lowly 11th in the First Division. Under the management of Howard Kendall, Everton were determined to return to their former glory, and this victory served as a promising sign of things to come. Manchester United, led by the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, were no pushovers, but Everton's defense, marshaled by the experienced duo of Gary Stevens and Kevin Ratcliffe, held firm to secure a 1-0 win. This result not only boosted the team's morale but also provided a platform for the success that was to follow in the coming months. This photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer Joe Mann, encapsulates the excitement and anticipation of a new season and the importance of every goal scored in the pursuit of silverware. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and vintage moments that make football such an enduring and passionate pastime.
