Me and my dad live in America and we’ve always loved soccer. 

My Dad grew up as a lifelong Toffee after choosing to support them when he was young.

When I was growing up, ever since I was little, we would watch games together, going through struggles and amazing moments!

When we went to watch Everton in the Summer Series last year it was awesome to interact with all the other Evertonians and to have both of us watching Everton for the first-time ever in person.

 

I’m deeply grateful for the connection Everton has given me and my dad as every week we’ll watch the games together even if I’m not at his house. 

One of my favourite more-recent moments as a Toffee was when we survived relegation on the last day of the season against Bournemouth with that Doucoure goal!

I remember me and my dad in the basement, hearts pounding for the longest 11 minutes of added-time ever, and after we survived, we were so overjoyed, hugging each other while small tears came out. It just reminds me how much Everton mean to us and the bond that we share over this great club.
