Alternative best Everton fan

[argietoffee]

Not everyone gets to go to many games with some fans living abroad and some not having the money. The one thing we can do is pass on the faith. So how many blues have your converted......
To start the ball rolling, my two sons, one of my best mates are bluenoses through and through from my efforts. There are 3 boca fans that have Everton as their fave english team on the back of my conversion therapy.

Is there any cult hero turning the tide on their own out there?

Loads in different places all over the show. They still email and text me about our results. Makes me proud.

Evertonians are boss at doing this.

Great post. Since I started supporting Everton as a 6 year old in 95, seeing them beat United in an Irish pub full of United heads. I have one friend Michael from primary who is hardcore Evertonian converted from United. The other kids hated him for it. Then my family. Especially my auntie who always travels over and is a hard core blue. And many of my mates who are not into football that much like Everton because of me. I think us Evertonians abroad have that kind of power.

I saw on the television where little men were blue. This is the great everton fan club.

Is that like some kind of post-modern poetry that I am not getting?

Its the great work of Hibbo - the Shakespeare and spiritual leader of the remaining Tamil Tigers left on this earth.

I make poem for this cause.

This is the obsession of men
This is the sine wave of emotion
This is water in eye
This is blue blood fell for great effort
This is great football club
This is the men of blue

I'm trying with my Korean high schools students as they're mad on the Premier League (or E.P.L)

In opposites lessons and such I show the Everton badge with good underneath and then a Liverpool badge and ask them the opposite. Same with comparatives and superlatives Man U - Good, Chelsea - Better and Everton -THE BEST. Stoke City - Bad, Sunderland - Worse and Liverpool - THE WORST!!!. Love getting them shouting that out.

My favourite though is the TRUE or FALSE quiz.

Everton have been the champions of England - TRUE. Fair play most answered true.

Followed straight after by Liverpool have won the Premier League - FALSE (obviously). They all answer true and argue and then I get great pleasure in telling them that the "EPL" was only formed in 1992. Of course I donn't mention that we've never won it but I point out that in 1992 Everton had won the league 9 times and United 7. Don't mention them ****ehawks from accross the park at this point though.

Unfortunately they all support United, City or Chelsea hardly any Liberpewl luckily.

When people see your passionate blue heart they will see that the Toffees are special. No trickery needed. We have a great history.

P.S I wish people had more stories of blues conversion. This is a good post!

My bad, I overlooked that. It was a fine piece. It made me feel.

As an American and a recent convert myself, I have just started preaching the gospel according to Timmah.

Most of my footie oriented friends already have PL teams, working on those the few that care about the sport, but don't have a side yet.

...Little Eggs teaches out in Dubai at an International School and also now plays out there. I visited his school a couple of weeks and his kids are real Blues followers. Literally a league of nations, boys and girls all tuned into us. There's a banner behind his desk with his name and our badge on. Also, some of the other teachers now go with him to watch the live streams wearing his EFC shirts. Funny to see.

My sister did Camp America a few years ago, fast forward a couple of years and a guy she met whilst she was there is now her boyfriend who she now lives with in America. My sister is an Everton fan too and kind of convinced him to support them, obviously the Howard and Donovan links helped with that anyway.

They came over a couple of seasons ago and we went to Goodison to see us beat Spurs 2-1 (when Van Der Vaart was playing), he brought a friend too as they were visiting people in the UK who they were at camp with. The place was absolutely rocking and I was screaming my guts out, they thought I was insane. They both left in a slight state of shock saying he'd never experienced anything like it in their lives.

Here's one of his recent Facebook updates:

He gets it.
