The Mayors Hope Fund has teamed up with world renowned sculptor, Emma Rodgers, to create a one of a kind Everton sculpture which will be auctioned to raise money for the Mayors Hope Fund, helping families who have to rely on Foodbanks.

Fresh from worldwide exhibitions, Emma wants to hear Evertonian’s views as to what is important to you as a Blue. Emma’s work is famous for the intricate details, so we want to include as many different features as possible.

Earlier this year Emma produced a one of a kind LFC sculpture which can be found here - http://www.liverpoolexpress.co.uk/special-lfc-sculpture-auction-for-hope-fund/

Now it’s time for the blue side of the City to receive a unique treat. So tell us, what is important to you as a blue? What do you think the sculpture should include?

I have a great George Mahon quotation (in the aftermath of the split) about Everton representing a fitting institution for the working people of the north end of Liverpool. I think that's what we are, in essence. A working class club that have traditionally been centred on the north end (merely diluted over time with the exodus of those people into suburbs like Huyton, Kirkby, Halewood etc who were essentially north end people).

"There was nothing like quietening that Kop. When you stuck a goal in there it all went quiet, apart from a bit of choice language aimed in your direction! Scoring there was a delight to me. I just used to turn round to the crowd and bow three times to them."
~ Dixie Dean

"I have not been short of invitations to other clubs and have been received more warmly by Everton than I have by Liverpool. It's probably fair to say that they are now 'my' team."

Good call mate. The Leach bracing is synonymous with us...even more so now most other grounds with them have been bulldozed.
