2 blues brothers in india last winter

[looking for a blue]

i am a red but i come in peace ! i met 2 brothers last winter in kochi india , i can not remember names , we had a few beers and a good chat , very nice lads . late50s at a guess , originally from woolton / gateacre area , one of them lived in london , as i do ,these days and seemed a bit of a wheeler dealer , i remember he said "i sell anything to make a pound note" and that he was selling fish wholesale to restaurants. they were long term match going blues, one went to all the aways , from the city so i reckon someone on here might recognise description.

anyone else of a certain age from woolton will remember my grandad dr carl warner . anyway i have a nicely framed large original black and white photo of an everton team from 50s or 60s , cant dig it out right now to check date . it must have belonged to him as my dad is (was) a red, and he was a staunch blue. i would like to send it to the brothers if i can find them . lets face it , not a chance its going on my wall , and 3 charity shops didnt want it... jokes aside we had a chat about how toxic its got between reds and blues which makes me sad , as it wasnt always like this as us slightly older lot will remember. so its a small gesture from red to blue , plus my grandad would love that its back in the city.

i know its a bit of a long shot, but if anyone can help it would be great .

any chance of giving this a shot in the alehouse , maybe just for 24 hours ? like a lot of forums , quite a few people wont look at the new members forum as often as other parts of site . no problem if this is not possible , thanks a lot for leaving this up to read . (i did try messaging a mod but a pop up came up saying no spam) .

either way , if i cant find them , am happy to send it up (free of charge) to a blue pub in the city if they want to put it on the wall.

Notts Forest? Man U? Arsenal? Can't think of another red.

Good luck in your search. I hope you get the fiver back that you leant them.

Seems like every red from years ago were from the south end.

There's defo a north end / south end split in Everton / Liverpool support, still.

obviously a historic game tonight , am giving this thread its last (and only) bump , if anyone is going to see it that can help , today is my best chance for obvious reasons ( more people on site ). big thank you to the moderator who allowed this , and the positive comments from a few . much appreciated .

i have also found a few little bits of bluenose bits and bobs , going through dads stuff , cigarette cards , articles etc . also found a sketch book he did from the 50s i think which has couple of nice drawing of goodison way back when he was a young lad growing up in pool . nice sketches of couple of old pubs and places long since gone . of course its a long shot that i find these lads from india , but sometimes long shots work, (gary mac anyone) ,if i cant find them i would love to find an everton mad pub , that might want to take them to stick up on the wall. as said , will send at no cost .

enjoy yourselves tonight boys and girls , hoping for a last minute salah screamer , now that origi has gone ...

thanks again blues and good luck at the new place

Good luck in finding them @looking for a blue , but if you don't and your not sure of quite what to do, have you considered donating to the Everton Heritage foundation? @alan ball might be able to help with contacts.

Time for something juvenile?



Forget all that, good luck with your quest, if you can find em, I reckon pitch the search to netflix for a new series. If it pays off, remember me fondly...

Still is 100%

I've lived in the south end most of my life (but dad's family were all from Scotty rd way originally) and I could never understand when I was at school how most of the blues I was friendly with were from the north end but I could count on the fingers of one hand the blues I knew from my end

Strange isn't it. I can only think that there might have been - I mean ages ago - a reluctance from someone from the south end to follow a team with the name of a north end district and preferred, therefore, to lend their support to one they could identify with.

thanks for this , just what i was hoping for . once the dust has settled whatever happens tonight , i will be getting in touch with alan . i will also put a copy of dads sketch up on here , in case anyone finds it of interest .

wish i was there tonight , not been back in pool for over 20 years , atmosphere should be off the scale .
