TX Bill
Player Valuation: £80m
Played football here in TX with a guy who was from Liverpool and supported Everton. Didn't know anything about Everton until he told me about them. Decided to watch a match and saw that Joe Max Moore was playing (that is when Walter Smith wasn't playing up front with Steve Watson).
Moyes hired shortly thereafter and a young player named Rooney was coming through and I was hooked.
Born, not manufactured. Didn't choose, I was chosen.

No, I've been an Evertonian long before Tim. 2004/2005. I can't explain why, although I've told my story before. We're born Evertonians. When we discover that comes at different times for different people.

Tim made me more aware of the club, but Martinez was a tremendous pundit for the USA coverage of the 2014 world cup.
But beyond that, I knew that the already-popular clubs (Man U, City, Arsenal, that red one) weren't for me because I didn't really believe the US fans actually cared about those teams (except for the ones with parents from the UK, or some other legit tie back to the club, etc.) But when I read some posts here and other places from US fans, I felt Everton and their fans had a far more special culture.
After attending my first game at the bar here in NYC, everything was quickly confirmed. I'm not a seasoned Premier League fan but I am a seasoned sports fan, and I think it gives you a good sense of when things just feel right (unless you're a gloryhunter, which I'm not.) Everton just felt right. I've lived in 5 major US cities that had multiple pro teams, and I only ever picked one other (Atlanta Braves, my hometown.)
Finding and following Everton is about as close to instantly falling in love as I think I'll ever experience - too bad for my future wife(s).
