MOTD commentator Steve Bower shared a clip at Goodision Park about how scared he gets about going to the TV Gantry.
And this is because the viewing platform sits high above the pitch, suspended from the stand and requires a trip on the stadiums roof to get there.
Bower said: “I’ve always been scared of heights. And as you’ve seen it’s a walk of trepidation to put it midly.
“I’ve got better over the years but it’s still something I don’t particularly look forward to as part of my day job. And once I am up here i’m mightily relieved.”
In the video Bower gave a first hand view of how you get pitchside to the gantry in what he called the “scariest part of any ground in the Premier League.”
First walking through the away end at Goodison and then onto the concourse he then headed into the upper tier and went straight to the top.
When Bower reaches the top he opened a door and walked up to the roof where you can see the iconic Anfield stadium standing tall.
Bower then quickly walked across the roof to open a small-latch and climbs down to the Gantry where you see the entire pitch at Everton spread out before you.

But fans saw the video as an opportunity to slam Sean Dyches’ side who have endured a tough season facing a 10 point deduction and on the brink of relagation despite being handed four points back.
One fan said about the TV Gantry: “It’s higher than their league position.”
While another added: “Wonder if we’ll find any points up there!”
A third then put: “The scariest part is having to watch Everton.”
Everton currently sit 16th in the league four points above 18th place Luton Town.
And on Saturday in a relegation battle they face Burnley who are 19th in the table.
