I know Phil Barton was highly rated in the Southport craven minor league,he was a couple of years ahead of me so I never played against him,but I know there were high expectations for him,alas unfulfilled,dont know what happened for him after Everton though unfortunately joey.
....how many Southport lads have come through and played for Everton, Dario. I’d include outlying areas such as Formby. I can think of Brewster in recent times but he never quite made it, and of course Rodwell was from your neck of the woods?
Be a decent thread to determine the most fruitful areas producing Everton debutants.
