As I have said previously, my aim is to publish 4 books, I have spoken with so many players who have great stories to tell believe me.

To be honest that's what a lot us fans want a more in depth view of the inner workings of being an everton player

.....recall Treblecock being very difficult for the club to track down some years ago because he was living in the Australian outback, presume that's no longer the case. Have to admit not remembering Bobby Laverick, although I can recall a Laverick playing for QPR. Is John Hills the full back Joe Royle got from Blackpool after we knocked them out of the Youth Cup? Don't remember him playing many 1st team games.

Would be great if you could track down Bernie Wright. Not sure what happened to him. Champion chess player who apparently had a few fisticuffs at Bellfield. Arms like Popeye, I reckon he has some stories. Archie Styles also sounded interesting on the radio recently. He was makeweight in the Latchford deal, but he looked a decent player.

Never see anything about Dave Watson ?, when you consider he was the last captain to lift a pot it's a strange like.

I might be wrong but I think he works as the head of Newcastles academy?

Not sure if anyone can confirm this or tell me I'm talking through my ass?

Good luck top with the book AB I'll keep an eye out for it.

...think he's youth coach at Blackburn or somewhere. When he was playing he would often be seen with his kids in tow watching the youth games at Bellfield. He'd say his missus told him to take the kids out so where better. Always seemed a good lad and top pro.

Has an ex player I don't recall him being a guest at Everton on match day, could be wrong like.

Dithering Dougie · June 8, 2014

I can confirm through extensive research that Waggy is a member of Newcastles youth set up

Must be up there as one of the "hardest" fellas to play for the club old Waggy,remember him turning out with cracked ribs and everything,would put his head on the line literally every week for us,hard but fair,great Evertonian Dave.

Well done Bally....... You really are living every Evertonians dream.Put me down for a copy and good luck mate.

Eggs · June 8, 2014

...just looked up Bernie Wright, says Everton fans remember him for accidently breaking the toe of Sheffield United defender Eddie Colquhoon when making a diving header. Hard as nails, remember just laughing at sleeves rolled up but getting stuck on his biceps. Imagine him and Big Duncan in the same team. Apparently lives in the midlands and worked as a fork-lift truck driver.

Will keep you informed. I'm hoping to sort out a book signing in a shop possibly in Southport. I will definitely sort you one out

Formby has a good book shop that does regular book signings.

Frodsham Blue · June 8, 2014

Bally. I'm a member of the EFC Heritage Society and early last season we started doing displays upstairs in St Luke's.
We've also done book signings with Neville Southall, Kevin Sheedy and others.
We'd be delighted to do similar for you.
Let me know if you'd be interested.
Good luck with it.
Cheers
