First Game
Semi-Final of the FA Cup at Bolton in 1966 with my older brother who's a United fan. Been a Blue ever since, much to his disgust
Favourite Everton Moment
Seeing Peter Beardsley get a hat-trick against Coventry City in my last game before emigrating to Oz. It was my young son's first and only game and made him a Blue for life
Favourite All Time Player
Bob Latchford. Only scored one in three chances but made that many he got a sackful. Typical English centre forward
Favourite Current Player
Tim Cahill. Met him in Oz when still a Millwall player and he visited the gaol that I work at with his best mate Sam Mariner. The lad's never looked back since shaking hands with a true Blue
Favourite Manager
David Moyes. The man works miracles. I loved Kendall's teams but I can honestly say I have never felt prouder of the boys than the way he has them performing this year
Favourite Game
I remember a 0-0 versus Leeds at Goodison when Jack Charlton repelled everything we threw at him in a pulsating match.
Favourite Goal
A Ballie thunderbolt (not many of those) when we beat Southampton 8-0 at Goodison
Favourite Kit
Any Royal Blue Everton kit past or present
Favourite Chant
The (quite) old: "Oh we hate Bill Shankly and we hate St John, But most of all we hate Big Ron. And we'll hang the Koppites one-by-one By the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey. To hell with Liverpool and United We'll kick them all in the Mersey. And we'll fight, fight, fight Through mud and shite For the boys in the Royal Blue Jersey"
