RIP Joey Jones. ❤
Old family friend of my dad's. Spent many happy days at Joey's as a kid. A good man.
My dad saw him not so long ago, still remembered my dad was a big blue, despite being in the later stages of dementia and gave him the...
….played 5-a-side myself in The Rock around that time. Great Evertonian called Dave Wiggins also involved as we worked together around then, sadly Dave passed in the last few years but he was well known in EFC fan community and was a very decent...
