A Grand Old Team To Report

[SantaClausisanEvertonian]

Merry Christmas you lovely Blue People.
My lovely wife treated me to a copy of 'A Grand Old Team To Report', written by David Prentice, for Christmas.
I'm only up to chapter four but I have to say that so far, it's a great read with lots of interesting insights that cover all things Everton.
Have any members been lucky enough to find this in their Christmas stocking?

I've got a copy,just started reading it. Just got to the bit where a teenage Prentice shouts over to Emlyn Hughes when he spots him walking through Formby,the day after Everton open the season with a win 4-0 at QPR. The arrogant response he got seemed typical of what you might have expected from Hughes. First impressions of the book though are really positive!

Getting good reviews I believe.

Is right!
I'd expect nothing less from a cretinous twot like him.

Only three chapters to go and what a cracking read.
That imbecile Peter Johnson doesn't come out of it looking too good!
Well said David Prentice.

Does he mention going for a curry on Charing Cross road with me and my mate the night before the ‘95 cup final ?. Never met him before or after, he was the mate of a mate, can’t remember how it ended up with the three of us.

Read it and is a great read. However left me feeling like he’s probably got a lot more to tell and elaborate on with the stories mentioned. But understand he probably can’t go all in as he’s still a working journalist. Would love to read a uncensored version so to speak haha
