Dim but fond memories of The Golden Vision, with tubby liitle Ken Jones imagining himself as Alex Young. Sadly it isn't one of the plays on the Ken Loach at the BBC DVD.

Exactly right iirc.their attitude was to see it as a new way to promote themselves and get a few firsts and our attitude came across as a bit old aristocratic posh amateur why bother with this new fangled invention. I was v young at time so relying on snippets I remember my dad saying. They really had the bit between their teeth in order to play catch up in the way Utd have done this under SAF and co and got heavily into branding themselves while we came across as relying on doing things the way we had always done them. The new european trophies were a good way of doing this. Also I think the financing of the main stand may have hampered us more than many suspected. Going off topic now though.

In the b&w film "Dunkirk" the main characters discuss who had last won the league.. the answer being Everton, of course.
In the mini-series "No Surrender" there are plenty of football references and a scene filmed outside Goodison where the crowds leave at the end of a match.
In Wirral band Seal Cub Clubbing Club's song 'pspm' there is a whispered reference to our last silverware being in 1995.
Of course, there is the tragic/magic image ingrained in my memory of the Everton players performing "Here We Go" on Wogan !!!

Although not an Everton fan, Paul Whitehouse, when asked to describe his childhood bedroom on the Danny Baker radio show stated that on his wall is an Everton and Tottenham poster. Whitehouse states that "I really liked Everton, they were the champions at the time and they would still be sort of my second team after Spurs."

[h=2]In popular culture[/h]Everton fans have featured in a variety television shows and films. In Alan Bleasdale's Liverpool based series Boys from the Blackstuff, Socialist plasterer Snowy Malone tells Chrissie that his militant trade unionist father brought him up "to believe in what was good and proper." Loggo quickly quips "I didn't know your dad supported Everton".
The Rutles a parody of Beatlemania sees Eric Idle interviewing respected Liverpool poet Roger McGough (a real life Evertonian). He introduces him to the camera as "he was born in Liverpool, grew up in Liverpool, drank in Liverpool, wrote about Liverpool and his football team is of course…...Everton."
The 1997 UK television drama The Fix told the story of the exposure of a match fixing scandal in 1963 that centred around Everton player Tony Kay. Jason Isaacs played Kay while Colin Welland portrayed then manager Harry Catterick with a broad Liverpool accent, despite the fact catterick himself was from Darlington. The drama also featured lifelong Liverpool fan Ricky Tomlinson playing Gordon, a fictitious character and Everton fanatic.[SUP][58][/SUP]
The 1979 television advertisement for ITV's Oracle teletext service a disembodied voice in the strong Liverpool accent asks "Ow Did Everton do?" To which he receives the response, when the page is searched on the teletext service, "Everton 1 Stoke 1."
In the comedy series Harry Enfield and Chums episode The Scousers visit that London, one of the three stereotype scousers is an Everton fan. Starting off on the National Express coach to Wembley, he sits cross from the two Liverpool fans singing You'll Never Walk Alone. When they finish he replies "Up the toffees" which then erupts into an argument.
The 1994 episode To Be A Somebody of Cracker in which Robert Carlyle plays a Liverpool fan who becomes a serial killer after the events of Hillsborough and the death of his father. With the police looking for a Liverpool supporter with a skinhead he is questioned by DS Beck but he manages to avoid arrest by claiming he has been diagnosed with cancer. He further avoids suspicion by claiming he is from St. Helens and supports Everton.

I read a cracking book a few months ago called Attention All Shipping - A Journey Around The Shipping Forecast.
Charlie Connelly, a Charlton lad undertakes a voyage through the Met Office shipping forecast areas both historically and physically. Among many fascinating destinations the trip takes him to Scandinavia and Iceland. While on Utsire Island off Norway (as in North Utsire, South Utsire) at a bar, a local lad comes over to talk footy with him:
"English football is hugely popular in Norway and this lad, a little the worse for drink by now, professed relentlessly that his heart belonged to Everton. Such was his devotion to the Toffees that the following weekend he was taking the ferry to Newcastle in order to have an Everton Crest tattooed over his heart"
"Everton pointed out a number of Liverpool fans around the room, expressing his contempt for them by referring to Liverpool as a 'cesspit'. 'I'm proud that in my heart I come from Everton,' he said. I couldn't bring myself to break it to him"
There's another reference right at the end in Iceland, but to quote it out of context would be a spoiler and ruin the end of the book. I'd really recommended it if, like myself, you've got a love for that strange piece of British culture.
