    The tale of legendary Everton manager Harry Catterick:

    Ball didn’t want to go, it shocked him that Catterick was willing to let him go, on the other hand I remember Alan’s dad saying in the Daily Express, the day after Alan signed for Arsenal, how happy he was with the contract his son had just signed which included a big pay rise, so there are...

    The tale of legendary Everton manager Harry Catterick:

    Battered them throughout the game, shots and headers kicked off the line and they defended like their lives depended on it especially after they took the lead, David Johnson saved us with that late goal and equaliser.

    The tale of legendary Everton manager Harry Catterick:

    Yes your dad wouldn’t have been on his own in disliking Harry and Johnny Carey was very easy to like, but John Moore’s wanted winners and Catterick had proved to be a tough ruthless manager with Sheffield Wed. so that suited Mr. Moore’s ambitions for Everton. Howard Kendall gave us four great...

    The tale of legendary Everton manager Harry Catterick:

    Johnny Carey bought Jimmy Gabriel, Alex Parker,, Alex Young and Roy Vernon. Brian Labone was already there along with Mick Meagan, Derek Temple and Brian Harris who played bit parts in that 1963 title winning squad. Harry Catterick bought Gordon West, Tony Kay, Johnny Morrissey and Dennis...

    The tale of legendary Everton manager Harry Catterick:

    And yet Harry was, at the very least, as good as Shankley and Nicholson. He came from Sheffield Wed. whose team finished runners up to the fabulous Spurs team of that time. He built a very good team which won the title in 1963, got narrowly beat in the European Cup by the eventual winners Inter...

    Each to their own, Kilbane was a good honest performer but a less than average footballer.

    Kilbane never had the football brain that McNeil has got.

    2023/24 Amadou Onana

    True, you can only have an opinion of a player as you see him, not what other fans say or what his potential might be in the future. He hasn’t really been of any benefit to Everton’s team except in very fleeting moments of most games and games last 90 minutes or more. What I see is how I rate a...

    They were in before 777 and totally amazed that Everton/ Moshiri/ Usmanov ? chose 777 like most of us were after reading about what 777 had to offer and how they run their business.Who were these parties? I hope you find out very soon, they have been very patient waiting for the premier league...

    When the stadium is up and running that will be the start of huge firms, hotels and leisure business’s moving into the area from the Pier Head going past Brambley Moor towards Crosby and a wake up to the days when the Dock road was alive all times of the day- - - now it is just coming awake it...

    Fair enough but long before 777 came on the scene there were other more interested parties who had proved to the premier league they had a lot more than the 1.1 £Billion needed to show they could run the club, they are still interested now and will be in the running to buy the club after the...

    The beauty of selling Onana, providing we make a good profit, is that he will not be missed going by how he performed for Everton. What he does in the future has no bearing on how he played while he was here.

    Believe the people who are close to the club, they are not trying to sell a story or make one up they know the score.For anyone with plenty of money and patience they know they will make a profit, a huge profit, by buying EvertonFC.

    2023/24 Dele

    Levy saved about £15M just getting Dele off Spurs wage bill and dumping him on to us and we’ve paid those wages with next to nothing in return. Dele is now a free agent or he will be in July, it is up to him what he wants to do now, he can get fit and earn himself a new contract elsewhere if he...

    I think the real title is “ Human Under Developed and Non Resource Officer” especially formed for looking after sad case and no future players.

    I think Dan James would suit Dyche’s style better.

    2023/24 Jack Harrison

    I’m not really bothered if he comes back or not, appreciated his work rate but also,lost the ball too many times as well. What I don’t won’t are loan deals with the likes of Danjuma, who was a twenty minute player at most and didn’t even make the most of his appearances when he did play. How...

    Farewell Goodison Park. A mother, a servant, a guardian, a beloved home.

    The plans written up and announced at an Everton AGM were that they would build two blocks of flats, three storey if I remember correctly, with a small garden park in between. That was about four or five years ago and announced when Bill and Denise were running the club after Moshiri in his...

    2023/24 James Tarkowski

    Branthwaite got the player of the season award and I don’t begrudge him that but I have to say he couldn’t have had a better centre back partner than James Tarkowski to guide him through his first premier league season, he will have learned plenty from that partnership and will be very lucky if...
