Ghoat
Player Valuation: £500k
1. From the Everton "hotbed" of Montgomery, Alabama, which I think has 3 other Everton fans. Lost one when the parish priest moved on, and our high school varsity boys coach just took a new job this week...luckily I recruited a new one last year and another this summer, so there is still 3 of us!
I was introduced to the sport by playing as a kid in the 70's when I lived overseas, and both daughters have played thru high school, and have been a ref for 15 years (up to U-19) but for some reason never really enjoyed on TV, or cared for EPL until until 5-6 years ago. Maybe just lack of TV coverage in US.
2. Google and general internetting, seeing articles, twitter etc...
3. Started following Everton in 2013, Martinez's first season, so I am a bit of a newbie compared to y'all. I got into FIFA 13 or 14 don't remember, and eventually began trying to find a team I liked. That became Everton for several reason - none of which involved Tim Howard actually. I liked the colors, I liked the "blue collar" culture, not a flashy team that bought success, not a bandwagon team that most Americans latch on to etc...And the more I learned and watched, the more hooked I became. Have hardly missed a match since - either via TV or online. My Saturday/Sunday morning routine is now "Eggs and Everton" - up to watch kickoff (usually with a hangover) at 9am, 6am or 1130am if I am lucky.
4. I'll skip this, I'm not qualified after 5ish years
5. Tom Davies. Not the best, but I like the way the kids plays, and hopefully he kicks on this year after a disappointing year. I gave my Ross Barkley jersey to my youngest daughter who is a Chelsea fan. #parentalfailure
6. Pineapple on Pizza...well, you can put socks on your rooster or put beans in your tea if that's your thing - but keep the fruit off my pizza. And out of my beer.
7. Misc - Avid follower of USMNT (shock) and Auburn University Football/basketball and somewhat baseball. NASCAR is also good reason to drink beer on Sundays. Trace family tree back to when 3 brothers left Bridport in the late mid-1700's, so I'm British-ish
