I'm doing one about Goodison which will be out next year. I've spoken to opposing players from every top flight club who have played at Goodison since 1960, to hear their thoughts on the stadium. It also features match officials, broadcasters and manager's of clubs. I've even gone the extra mile where I've spoken to players who have played their from UCD, Finn Harps, Woking, Exeter City, Wrexham, Aldershot and many more. in The foreword is written by the legendary commentator John Motson. The book will be called The Goodison Farewell.

....as well as being a must read for Evertonians, Steve’s compilations are amazing reference material for future generations.

Excellent indeed. @alan ball personally delivered one to me this week and it’s great. I’ll be buying all of his volumes come next payday and I suggest all blues do likewise.

Lovely guy to boot

Have you asked ex players who have returned for other clubs their opinions on the ground and vice versa.

I'd love to know that side of the story.

Steve’s interviews are a great read.
Obviously there some players who are better known than others but their comments give a great insight into the way footballers lives have changed over the years and their perspectives on matches or events that were really big days in our club’s history.
