Finally, the Liverpool Echo have interviewed former Everton defender Alan Stubbs on his career and two stints with the Blues.
After a difficult period with Celtic off the field - having went under several periods of treatment for testicular cancer - the move to Everton was one that lifted his spirits.
“There was no sense of inevitability for me going to Everton," Stubbs told the paper. "I’d always hoped and wished it might happen but for a long time I thought that ship had sailed for me and that opportunity had passed, especially with me being linked to them earlier on in my career.
“I just didn’t think it was going to happen, so when it did happen, it was unbelievable for me when I first found out.
“It was just after I’d overcome the second round of my cancer treatment, I was back playing and I’d been offered a new deal at Celtic.
“My agent called me and said ‘Listen, there’s a big club in the North West who are interested.
“For some reason I just didn’t think it might be Everton because I thought that one had gone, so I replied: ‘Who is it? Man United?’
“He laughed and told me: ‘No, somebody bigger to you.’
“I went: ‘Who? Not Everton?’
“He said: ‘Yes, we’re going to speak Walter (Smith).’
“I was like a big kid and was all excited. I discussed things with Walter before heading back to Glasgow see Martin O’Neill who was fantastic about it.”
