(AKA Horse)

First Game:
Everton v Manure
(11/05/03) - Last match of the season, we lost
2-1, Rooney missed a sitter & MU were presented
with the Championship trophy. Saw ESSCA details
in a fanzine whilst enjoying the hospitality of
a local pub before the match - The rest, as they
say, is history
Why
Do I Support Everton:
Alan
Ball was my favourite player and he played for
Everton, and once you've nailed your colours to
the mast you can never change. Thank God my

First Game:
Everton v
Coventry 26th October 1976 League Cup 4th Round
Won 3-0
Why
Do I Support Everton:
1968
FA Cup final
Coming from Birmingham originally, I didn't like
B'ham City or their fans and they were, even
then, a perennial yo yo club. My brother
supports the Villa and there was no way I was
going to support them. In short, I felt
sorry for Everton after Astle's late goal but I
also remember the Everton fans being the
noisiest
Favourite Game:

October 1987. Saints 0-4 Everton. My dad and I

saw the great Dixie Dean took me to my first

Christchurch Dorset are avid supporters of the
Blues. Unfortunately my daughter Elaine supports
that Red shower from across the park. I must
have failed badly somewhere along the line.
