Hello,
I work as a producer for a satellite sports channel called ESPN
Classic - you may have caught us at some stage as we broadcast old
Premier League & Div 1 games, among which there are a fair few Everton
games.
The reason for this mail is that in March we're continuing our series
called 'Happy Endings'. In these programmes we show some of the best
(or most satisfying) games for a variety of clubs, including Everton.
I'm responsible for making these programmes and I'm hoping that
instead of telling the stories of these games through the eyes of
the players and officials we can use fans (interviews on
camera) to tell viewers what the games were all about and what they
meant to them personally. Hopefully a slightly different angle
anyway...
I'm looking for interesting and knowledgeable people who could get
across the events of a game in an entertaining way - my only hope
being that they attended a large proportion of the games that
we're broadcasting. Would you guys know anyone who would fit this
criteria and be interested? The games are:
2004/2005 Norwich v Everton (2 - 3)
2004/2005 Everton v Bolton (3 - 2)
2006/2007 Everton v Liverpool (3 - 0)
2006/2007 Everton v Fulham (4 - 1)
Unfortunately I won't be able to offer any money, but I'd gladly make
you some DVDs when I've finished the programme. I'm looking to do the
interviews in London from the 4th February onwards. I'm happy to travel
to your work/home/pub. Or if you'd prefer we can arrange for you to come to us.
If you are interested please feel free to get in touch via email:

Thank you very much for your time. Hopefully I will hear from you soon.
