Mikel Arteta screamer against Bolton

Aged 5 I liked the name, liked the colour blue, everyone else in my school in Buckinghamshire supported Liverpool and I wanted to be different even then.
A great decision all in all, and it's been with me for life.

Dad and Uncle played for the club.

I'm from Fife, in the East of Scotland and whenever I tell people I'm an Evertonian I always get puzzled/surprised looks. Whilst I still support my local team up here, (East Fife FC) who happen to play in the lowest division in Scottish football and are absolutely poo, I've always enjoyed watching MOTD while I was growing up and for some reason Everton were the one club that just hooked me and I've supported the club ever since. Former Everton player, Gary Naysmith is now the East Fife player/manager.

I was told there wasn't any choice. I'm starting to worry I've been lied to now

I was 7 in a Dublin pub my granny whom I call 'ma' due to crazy home circumstances and her fella Geoff. It was 1995 in the mulingar house the hole place was full of Man United fans. It was the FA Cup final. I remember them cursing, being intimidating and obnoxious. Something about that blues team them all and piping them down made me be an Evertonian. And that was before I was even into football at any level. But it was my 'mas' fella Geoff who start teaching me about Everton that day and guided my toffee nose. He brang me to my first game in 99 derby county , Jeffers scored, Abel Xavier told me to 'get the [Poor language removed] off his car'. Mentally scared me till he moved to Liverpool and everything made sense.

Nice mate


Xavier never felt right for us, your anecdote just further backs that up.

Closed my eyes and picked a random page in MATCH magazine when it was previewing the upcoming season. No big football ties in my area. Just so happens uncle & cousins support Everton too.

My love of football coincided with the FA Cup run, all of my dads side were blue but the first game I saw on telly was the 4-1 semi win. I thought winning trophies was the norm from that moment on..................hmmmmmm

Your allowed to name drop,I had a school friend who's Dad (Jackie Grant) and brother (David) both played for the club.Plus I could hear the roar when the teams came out from my bedroom and went to Gwlady's St school so I suppose I couldn't really support any other team.
