FOR THE BOYS IN THE ROYAL BLUE JERSEY

Many thanks to AB for producing this fascinating book. I was abroad for quite a few weeks when ordering/paying for the book, but due to return just over a week ago. AB kindly delayed posting, on my request, lest there be any problem with the delivery service getting it through the letter box. Anyway, all has gone well & I was back when it got delivered. It's little things like that which reflect great credit on AB. Great read & so much nostalgia. For example Gerry Humphreys mentions his best goal (I was there & I have never forgotten it - a blinder!!) & also scoring in the massacre of Leicester City, which I also watched. It's hard to believe it was 48 years ago, because both games are vivid in my memory. Well done AB & I will certainly invest in purchasing volume 2 on production. A must read for all Blues!!!
 
I'm really enjoying reading this book, I bought it at the book signing before Saturday's game and spent the last couple of days with it.

Reading this book is the nearest I will ever get to meeting these players. Steve has chosen an excellent selection of different questions for the interviews which give a detailed and very revealing insight into each players time at Everton.

Great to learn too about what it was like for players being a professional in a very different era to what we have now, oh how times have changed.

It's taken a terrific amount of effort for Steve to put this together, congratulations on what's been such an entertaining book.

You'd have been better served being entertained reading/reminiscing about the good old days during the match with Ballys book sam rather than watching that nauseous game we had to endure saturday;)lol

My older brother I sent him a copy is still 3/4 way through it he,s amazed by the volume, and is fascinated by the players who just had a handful of games in it an absolute easy Christmas stocking filler for any blue well done again Alan Ball I hope you sell out they don't know what they are missing;)
 

This is a fantastic book, very well written and full of interesting moments and fun personal memories of some of the games from my past from the players directly involved in them.

For all those who haven't got one for Christmas, I strongly urge you to buy this book now. Thanks @alan ball for all your hard work in writing this book, and donating the proceeds to the Everton Former Players Foundation!
