A pub manager in Scunthorpe has paid tribute to Everton's fantastic supporters after last Saturday's FA Cup match.
Paul Ferguson, manager of the Blue Bell Inn Wetherspoons in Scunthorpe town centre, said that Everton's supporters who visited the pub before and after the game were 'the best bunch of travelling fans that I have experienced in five years as a pub manager'.
The Everton fans were in particularly high spirits after the win over Tottenham and the subsequent 5-1 victory over the Iron only improved their mood.
But the travelling Toffees' behaviour was impeccable throughout, so much so that Mr Ferguson felt compelled to contact Club officials.
His correspondence read: "They were polite, friendly and even helpful to locals and regulars who were also using the pub.
"They were an absolute credit to your club and a pleasure to have around both before and after the match and they created a really positive atmosphere which also showed football fans in a whole new light to several people using the pub at the time including my mum who had popped in for lunch and was initially put off by seeing the pub packed out with the "footy brigade" in her words.
"She has now been inspired to come along to a match with me at some point as it has had such a positive impression on her"
It was probably LCAB's charms. :huh:
