Which Merseyside district produces most Everton players;

[Eggs]

My mate Alan Wilson only played for the first team twice,but I'm claiming him for Toxteth.

...is Tony Grant a Toxteth lad? I thought he was Norris Green but I know he’s mates with Fowler.

...I think Labone went to the Collegiate on Shaw Street, so that ties in with Everton, unless somebody says different.

He defo went to the Collegiate, yes. As did Royle.

George Telfer from Huyton

...ha, ha. I thought Joe was junior school in Norris Green and then Quarry Bank? Certainly a Norris Green lad, though.

 

[davek]

...I thought Tommy Wright was a Garston lad. He certainly lives down that way.

Just checked on wiki:

Thomas James Wright (born 21 October 1944 in Norris Green, Liverpool

....cheers, Dave. Noggsy/Croxteth could be leading the pack.

Oops, sorry, yeah. Made a mistake there. I'm sure there's at least another Collegiate old boy.

It is defo one of those 'Everton areas'.

...they had a family heating business in Maghull, not sure he was raised there.

True might have jumped to a conclusion because he died nearby and I used to visit him as a client at the offices every month.

 

[Eggs]

...I think Cliff Marshall went to Sefton Park school, so presume he’s another for Toxteth.

Seem to remember Andy Rankin's Mum lived in Walton,but don't know if that's where he was born.

Soz mate but Joe Royle went to Quarry Bank grammar.

I know mate, just realised that error above.

Actually, there was only one other player who went to the Collegiate and played for Everton: Jack Balmer...in the 1930s!
