Stop stalking me lid
Was an interview with him last season. Said that he started out as a red, but missed the thrill watching their matches. Sneaked into Goodison Park on a few occasions and has been a Blue ever since. At least, that was what he said in the interview.

Brought up in Kirkby but rejected as a youngster by Everton and Liverpool, had been made aware of interest from David Moyes and the lure of playing at Goodison was too strong, even if Everton were not always his favourite club. "I actually started as a Liverpool supporter because my dad supported them and I hero-worshipped Robbie Fowler. He was another left-footer and I loved him. I'd go back to school and every time we played I'd pretend I was Fowler.
"I was only young, though, and I didn't like the hustle and bustle of the stands. I lost interest in Liverpool, but I still loved watching football. I was at the 1995 FA Cup final [when Everton beat Manchester United 1-0]. I went through a spell of liking Blackburn Rovers because they had Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton in attack. And then I started watching Everton properly when I was about 14. My mum wouldn't let me go on my own but my cousin was three years older than me so we'd get the bus, 50p from Kirkby, and then hang around outside until we could sneak in.
"We'd wait until they opened the gates after 75 minutes for the early-leavers to go. There were stewards on the gates and if they were in a good mood they would wink and let us in. One guy, in particular, used to look out for us. But sometimes, if we were unlucky, there would be a jobsworth on the door and we wouldn't get to see anything."
His schoolboy reminiscences, cheering on the team from the Gwladys Street end and tacking posters of Duncan Ferguson to his bedroom walls, may have contributed to his first-day nerves. But they are firmly behind Baines now. "As soon as I arrived I realised how normal everyone was," he says. "Everyone has bent over backwards to make me feel welcome and that has really helped me. It wasn't anything like as bad as I imagined and it's been surprisingly easy. I have felt at home from the first few days, whereas I didn't think that would be the case."

Half my family's from Kirkby, Southdene ways. My cousin went to school with him, he said he was a Blue when he joined. I've also heard he's a red though from other sources.
Not that it really matters, he's our first choice left back and a local lad.

He isnt, saying it alot of times wont make it more true toccy. He quite clearly isnt 1st choice
That's the interview I was referring to. Prefer to have a 'Red' like Baines, than a 'Blue' like Carragher.
