I was asked to introduce myself as I have recently joined the forum so here goes.

I was born in Islington North London a stones throw away from Arsenal’s Highbury Stadium. Everyone in the area and in my family were Arsenal fans except my Dad who was a Chelsea fan. I went to see Arsenal play a few times but I just did not like the way they played. I first saw Everton play on the last day of the 1961/62 season, ironically against Arsenal at Highbury. Everton won 3-2 with two goals from Alex Young and one from Jimmy Gabriel. What impressed me apart from the victory was was the fluent football they played, I was hooked and Alex Young (the golden vision) became my hero.

For some years I was restricted to seeing Everton play only when they played London Clubs, however, as soon as I was old enough to travel on my own I started traveling to Goodison Park. I attended all Everton’s home games as well as their games in London from 1967/68 onwards. After, Alex Young left the club, Alan Ball became my idol and then Joe Royle. I have been fortunate enough to see Everton win the title four times. In 1962/63 when They were unbeaten at Goodison, 1969/70 which was as close to a pure footballing side as you could ever wish for, 1984/85 the best season in the Club’s history and 1986/87. I have also seen some fantastic players.

I have lived in the USA since February 2012 and I am fortunate enough to be able to see all live Premiership games and I am an overseas member of Everton Football Club, however, I miss the contact, banter and chats with Evertonians. Which is why I joined the Forum.

Well that’s my introduction. Thank you for taking the time to read it.

Welcome Rob. Post loads and if you haven't already seen them I'm
sure you will enjoy the oldies thread and the old Everton photos. I missed the 62-63 team, as I was chosen in 1964.

Thank you. I love the days when Football was Football and Everton were top on merit not because of the backing of some Arab or Russian millionaires!

Nice intro mate, welcome.

I`m not even going to lower the tone, with questions about dogging in America ;)
