Let's give this a go!
Where about are you from?: I live in South Reddish which is in Stockport.
How did you find these forums?: Muggins followed me on twitter.
How did you become an Evertonian?: I'm not really sure if I'm honest. Geographically, it shouldn't really be possible. Growing up in Stockport, my local team were Stockport County. During my younger days they were a pretty good team and were a fixture in the Championship but I just never really supported them. I'd drop in occasionally and still go to the odd fixture now and then but there's no real emotional connection. I loved Andrei Kanchelskis and first really became aware of Everton when he started playing for them. I began following the Everton results and started taking a liking to players like Big Dunc, Big Nev and David Unsworth but I still wasn't what you'd call a proper Evertonian. Surprisingly, I became what you could consider a proper fan around the time Howard Kendall finished his final stint as manager and Walter Smith came in (surprising really due to the fact that this wasn't exactly a thrilling period for the club ) and I've been an Evertonian ever since. Everton have just always appealed to my sense of values. They're not the richest club and haven't had the most success but that only makes every acheivement the club has had even more special. There's an honesty to the club. The club feels real and the fans feel genuine. Everton's a club you follow because you believe in them. It's about more than cups and trophies with this club and that's why I'm proud to call myself an Evertonian.
Your all-time favourite Everton player?: Tough one this but I'm going to have to go with Andy Gray. You can argue that without Gray, Everton would have never won the CWC in 85. His performance in the semi final leg at Goodison was exceptional. Plus, he practically assaulted the Watford keeper on the way to scoring the 2nd goal in the 84 Cup Final, which never fails to bring a smile to my face. Kanchelskis would deserve an honourable mention as it was thanks to him I discovered the club. I'd also have to mention Thomas Graveson because he was the first player I could honestly point at and say "He's my favourite" during the period where I actually felt like an Everton fan.
Your current favourite player?: HIBBO! No doubt about it!
Pineapple on Pizza, Is it socially acceptable? What are your views?: It's only socially acceptable so long as the pineapple wasn't used as currency to buy blood diamonds from an African diamond mine. Provided the diamonds have not contributed to pain and suffering in the third world, you're good to go.
