Everton , they are the curse that anchors me.
Twice in my life I have reached momentous life changing moments and backed out at the last moment because of that damned football club. The second time I was Canada bound, for good. Everything was sorted, I had come to terms with missing family and friends but , at the last , I couldn't leave because of a stupid football team. The reward? I witnessed the most successful period in our history. The penalty? I still live in this flamin country . Was it worth it? Hell,yes.
Why can I not leave this millstone behind? What demonic hold does this entity have me in.?
Born in Wally Hospital , into a family of Evertonians. Raised in Walton. Educated in the shadow of Goodison. I progressed from minding cars('mindyercarpleasesir) to going the the match with my ST holding Dad and Uncle or cousins , in the sixties. The sixties what a time to be alive ,who couldn't give their soul to that team? First heroes Ball, Morrisey Alan Whittle, good days. I didn't know it then but they already had me.
So so through the barren 70s, Bingham , Supermac,Lyons ,Lee, Latchford and KING!. Kendall OUT!,
An F.A.cup then,unbelievably CHAMPIONS what a team.
Then came the 86 final. We had failed previously in the league cup, but this was the F.A. Cup . This would be our moment , beat them at Wembley , nobody would take that away from us. What a day ,packed to the rafters, LINEKER! Look at them they're falling apart one more goal and it's ours!
In the end ,almost inevitably, 1-3. I was crushed leaving that ground , sat on the coach waiting to leave unable to avoid the sound of their celebration from within. God ! I hated Everton ,even when we were stunningly good we still contrived to fail. Why couldn't I ditch this pariah? Why travel up and down the country just to be crushed? Then I realised,I couldn't hate Everton for long, I couldn't leave Everton , because over the years, perhaps even before I went to Goodison , I was PART of the weft and weave of Everton. Like untold thousands before and after I WAS the club. Hating Everton is pointless, it's like hating yourself pointless and unproductive.
You can ,if you wish ,tear yourself away , I know many who have done it over the years , but they know they've lost something , a part of themselves that yearns to again be part of that Royal blue and white brotherhood.
So chin up blues , be angry be frustrated, but don't hate Everton because chairman, directors ,managers,coaches and players don't constitute Everton, they are our servants .
We , the supporters ,we're Everton, sod the rest.
( look out Arsenal were coming and were damn angry)

I don’t hate Everton. I hate some of the utter gash we have signed though.
Just win a bleeding game you gang of spunk trumpets
Strong hatred today for the board. And the gutless players who have no bottle. And for the arrogant manager just ruining our season while he awaits his 10m pay out.
