Morning/Evening Gents, Melbourne Evertonian, never been to Liverpool, or England for that matter.
Became an Evertonian in grade 7 when my parents decided to open a backpackers in our home... literally. My 2 older brothers were at uni, and my sister went to school interstate, so they decided to open up the downstairs bedrooms for backpackers. Paul Duffy, from Liverpool, stayed with us for 6 months, and Everton was his one and only love. He had the badge tattooed on his right bicep, and he was my idol. He was great at football, and treated me much better then my 2 older brothers lol. He also told me some cracking stories about Goodison in the 80s. The nutter loved the cocaine too much though, and that was his reasoning for moving to Australia for 6 months. Looking back, I have no idea how my parents thought it was a good idea to let this lunatic in our home, but the saying 'don't judge a book by its cover' never spoke truer. To be honest, I don't feel English culture is a whole lot different to us Aussies. Sport, Beer, Babes and Sunshi......, maybe not everything, either way, he was an instant hit with all my family. He arrived mid week, and talked about the Everton v Portsmouth game until kick off Saturday. He stood the whole game, fingernails basically gone. Everton won that game, and the passion on display turned the whole family into instant Evertonians.
I actually had G.O.T recommended to me on reddit. I use reddit quite a lot, not just for sport, but also to network with other journos. I just finished my degree last year, and been doing sweet f all ever since. A bit of freelance writing here and there... Mostly just intros on forums
Im kinda filthy on the fact that I have only just discovered G.O.T at 28 - while putting up with the trolls on reddit for the last 5 years!
Your all-time favourite Everton player? Without a doubt Tim Cahill. Im Australian.
Your current favourite player? My partner is Dutch, Australian born, but her dad was born in Amsterdam, and he's such a tight-ass he won't pay for cable, so I find my Father-in-law with beer in hand, on my couch, at all hours of the morning watching Ajax games, without warning. In saying that, Ive seen a lot of Kasper Dolberg and Davy Klaassen, and would be delighted if Mosh got one or both of them to the club. Kasper is probably my favourite current player though. It's incredible to watch him knowing he's still a teenager. My wife wants to [Poor language removed] him, and to be fair, I wouldn't stop the kid. He's top notch.
Pineapple on Pizza, Is it socially acceptable? What are your views?: Im a big boy, not overweight, but not slim by any means. I eat whatever is in-front of me. Quickly, and seconds goes without question. If someone put a Hawaiian pizza in front of me, it would be finished, no doubts.
Any Melbourne Blues on here that have their favourite pubs to watch the games?
