Neville Southall: The Binman Chronicles – Special Signed Limited Editions Available Soon

‘Ability, dedication, charisma and desire made him the King of Keepers.’  —Joe Royle ‘As good as anyone I have ever seen in all my years in the game – he stands alongside the likes of Gordon Banks and Peter Shilton.’ —Howard Kendall ‘During the mid-1980s, Southall’s superb anticipation and spectacular reflexes made him the finest goalkeeper in the world. He always demanded the best from his Everton team-mates and his rumpled exterior camouflaged his perfectionism.’ —David France Considered among the greatest goalkeepers of all time and one of English football’s defining figures over a career that spanned more than two decades, Neville Southall has for the first time decided to tell...

Bio: 35 year old who has been going to Goodison for 30 years now and wishes we could be as good as we were in my first 7 years as a fan!  Run the NSNO site as a hobby, although it’s become a much bigger hobby than was ever planned.  In fact, when I started NSNO, I told my (then) girlfriend that if it ever out-grew the free hosting it was on, that I would just give it up.  A dedicated server and a break up later, it has survived. The site was started as a distraction from my day job, and it combined two things I liked most...

Paul Dargan Bio: Paul is a freelance writer covering everything from Soccer to Chefs and is a regular contributor to the Followtonians Podcast. Q1. Why Everton?  Well, my uncle beat my dad to taking me to a game. My dad is a Red, if that initial line doesn’t explain that. My first game was on August 27 1988, when Tony Cottee scored the first three of 99 career goals for us. I never looked back and when I was old enough to, began going with my school mates in the mid-1990s. Even though that was the nadir of our generation, I was insatiable and craved the atmosphere surrounding the...

 Neville Southall MBE (1981-98)  578 appearances  “It was my first signing, and my best, in his prime, Neville was the best keeper in the world.” – Howard Kendall The bulky Nev of later years (although as a former hod-carrier, he was always a big man) repelled wave after wave from Manchester United in the 1995 FA Cup Final and the earlier, supremely elastic ‘keeper of the mid 1980s was the world’s best. Such was Everton’s domestic supremacy in 1985 that they gobbled up 60 per cent of all votes for the writers’ footballer of the year, with a deserving Nev eventually winning the award. Southall is the best Everton...

Top 60 Everton Players:#8.Ted Sagar

 Ted Sagar (1929-1953)  495 appearances   Shunted down the list only because Southall is one of the best goalkeepers in history, Sagar is an Everton behemoth. Amazingly, Ted was just 11 months short of spending a quarter of a century on the Toffees’ books as a ‘keeper and unsurprisingly he holds the record of the longest time playing for one club in league football. The enormously athletic Sagar played 499 times for Everton – winning two division One Championships, an FA Cup, and a Charity Shield in the process. Although he was capped by England only four times, he remains a legendary Blue.
