60 Evertonians: #32. Russell Davies

February 12, 2013
By

  Name: Russell Davies Bio: A ‘loud-mouthed, opinionated, condescending know-it-all’, according to my missus and she claims to love me! A Jerseyman drawn to the delights of supporting the School of Science, I have managed to indoctrinate both kids and indeed the aforementioned missus in the ways of the Toffee but I have provided very little to the world otherwise. I love trail running and karate (which handily provides two alternative solutions for dealing with over enthusiastic Reds). If I had to sum up my feelings when talking about Everton in one word it would be ‘Pride’. Q1.Why Everton? Now don’t judge me too harshly: 1986-I hadn’t ever really...

Similar to what Drenthe hears during a Moyes team talk...

When news trickled through yesterday via various outlets including The Guardian that Royston Drenthe has been told to stay away from Everton by David Moyes, none of us can have been too surprised. Rumour and hearsay have followed Drenthe around Merseyside like ravenous paparazzi, but finally some of the facts are leaking out...

60 Games That Shook Goodison: #22. The Andy King Derby

Q:"Do you know where King's Drive is?" A: "In the back of Clemence's net."

==== Everton 1-0 Liverpool. 28th October 1978. – Afterwards, this game was to be known simply as “the Andy King Derby”. For Everton, it was a cathartic end to a terrible run of results against their local rivals… Liverpool strutted into this match on top of the league and unbeaten in the derby since November 1971. Andy King changed all this; brilliantly ending the red dominance and seven years of hurt with a scorching 20-yard volley beyond a helpless Ray Clemence. The 1-0 victory and King’s fantastic goal were greeted with wild celebrations, with an officious policeman bundling our hero away before he could talk to an eager reporter....

60 Games That Shook Goodison: #18. Duncan Ferguson Starts A Fire

Duncan Ferguson scores for Everton against Liverpool 21st November 1994

Everton 2-0 Liverpool. November 21st 1994 – There’s a – surely apocryphal – story about the Oxford University entrance interview. A particularly cantankerous old professor decides to slowly creak open his newspaper in front of a fidgeting interviewee. The boy gets up and sets fire to the newspaper. Delighted that the youngster has shown such bold-faced initiative, the professor leaps up and shouts “You’re in!” After fourteen games, Everton still had just nine points, and this miserable statistic ensured that Mike Walker was shown the door. The new manager was Everton legend Joe Royle and his first game was against Liverpool. His blues were a side reborn, with strike...

Football Protests: Are We All Moaners At Heart?

Football Protests: Are We All Moaners At Heart?

I’m interested in Premier League protests, and especially the battle between the board and protest groups at Everton. Tomorrow I’ll be blogging on the Kenwright Out “issue”, trying to separate fact from the factions, but today I thought I’d post some pictures and quotes I’ve found on t’internet. It doesn’t look like fans of other sides are too happy with their owners or managers either.  Are we all moaners at heart? (Look out for the corking “Abramovich Out!” banner below…) Manchester United Glazers Sir Alex Ferguson Glazers Arsenal Arsene Wenger “Save Arsenal FC. Kroenke out. Arsenal Football Club is in crisis.” Chelsea Abramovich & Ancelotti Phil Scolari Newcastle United Cockney...

“Desert Island Kicks” is a pale imitation of the legendary “Desert Island Discs”. I’m looking to nab answers from footie fans from all corners of the globe and all walks of life. You’re stranded on a desert island, what footballing memories would you take with you? I want you to pick a game, shirt, goal, player and piece of turf from a stadium to take with you to a desert island, oh and you’re allowed one luxury too. Next up is Fernando Duarte, Brazilian journalist and freelance writer (as well as occasional contributor to the Guardian’s Football Weekly podcast)… GAME: I’d do a compilation. The first half of Flamengo...
