Your Everton player stories

No, he frequented the Orient (his uncle was the landlord), which is at the far end of Speke on Easter Avenue / East Millwood Road.

The Fox, or the Dunnies as it now is, is on Hale Road behind the Premier Inn, and from my own experience the Orient was always the rougher of the two.

Everywhere else has closed now, including the Legion, original Dunnies, the Flying Saucer, the Pegasus and the Noahs.

Pegasus had a decent football team.
 
Once bumped into Ibrahima Bakayoko in the club shop, he was with his pal... my dad forced me to go get an autograph, I would have been 6, and dont think id ever seen anyone other than a white person and asked his mate, not him. Christ, really bad when I think back 😂😂

He was sound, and im sure there will be a photograph somewhere signed by the pair of them in my dads attic.

I can confirm that Gravensen and Radz lived in Beetham Plaza.

Years ago when i still lived in Liverpool I had a few mates who worked at Barclaycard and they would have a 6 a side game in Kirkby Stad one night in the week. Every now and then i would play to make up the numbers.

One of the lads lived in Beetham Plaza and they were short of numbers ( I never played but i wish i did that week ) and he bumped into Tommy and asked if he wanted a game to make up the numbers. All he asked for was a lift and he played by kicking the crap out of everyone. He gave no mercy to anyone but after the game was nice as pie to everyone.

Gravesen kept his place in there for years after I think

This was from a mid 70s matchday programme and a story about Gary Jones (I think). He’s bought a greyhound for £100 (eye popping sum in those days) and took it to a park for its first training run. Let the dog off its leash…. And the dog just bolted off never to be seen again….

There was a similar story about one of Duncan Ferguson's pigeons, "Coisty" - named after Ally McCoist. He acquired the pigeon as a gift and it flew off when he went to fly it, never to be seen again.
