Think there’s literally one or two from every year, on top of the ones already mentioned, there’s - Lee Nicholls (MK Dons), Jack O’Connell (Sheff United), Ty Browning, Bradley Orr, David Nugent, Sean Clancy (Blackpool), Carl Tremarco (Tranmere) & Bobby Duncan (Fiorentina). Big David Price and...

My old school that, unfortunately I’m crap at footy though. You could probably make a team of lads who have come through Cardinal Heenan, unreal the amount of footballers who have come through there.

Jamie Jones is a keeper that come through the academy, he’s now at Wigan.

When they won the league a few years ago their team was picked apart by the top teams and they were then unable to sustain their success. They’re doing well this season, but we’re already seeing their better players being linked with moves to the elite. They’re not exactly in a position to...

Been thinking this since the losses got announced. How is anyone outside the ‘big 6’ expected to challenge at the top, when it’s impossible to compete with them off the field. Even if you look at our nearest competition in each area.. Tottenham get about £25 million extra per year in kit...

After the game mate. If you wait about an hour after the game the players come out behind the Park End. There’s normally a section set-up were you can wait and the players walk through.

Kind of like Atletico Madrid when Simeone took over then. Hadn’t won a derby in about 14 years In the shadow of their more successful media darling neighbours Attempted to spend big to catch up & paid over the odds for average players. Failed miserably. Hadn’t competed for major honours since...

In reality though, it’ll have Sportpesa and Angry Birds plastered all over it

No kid in Liverpool is going to wear a brand that they think will get them to mocked. Yeah they’ll wear the kits, but they’re not going to want the trackies or whatever. You don’t see any kids walking round Liverpool in Umbro Everton trackies, you won’t with Hummel. You would with Under Armour...

No you’re not going to support someone else, but you’re less likely to want to wear the stuff.

Think the answer to that is shown in the amount of kids you see in Barcelona, PSG, Liverpool trackies and training stuff in comparison to Everton, on Merseyside. Kids will want the kit, but arent as likely to want extra gear.

You missed the point. Even if we won the European Cup and were sponsored by Hummel, we’d struggle to shift kits because the brand isn’t fashionable and they haven’t got the manufacturing department to make the volume of kits to supply large sports retailers. Ive got no issue with Hummel or...

Again if you’re with a fashionable brand, it attracts marketable people to promote your stuff. There’s talk of Lebron James promoting the new Liverpool Nike gear, they’re being linked with Mbappe on the back of it. Under Armour are associated with Anthony Joshua, Adidas with all kinds and so on...

Proper easy isn’t it, must be why you see so many people in Everton stuff no matter where you are in the world. I mean it’s not like our fans in the states have ever complained about not being able to buy stuff over there or anything...
