I started following Everton after the 95 FA Cup final. My friend was a Manchester United fan and he made a bet with me that MU would win the FA Cup. I didn't know anything about the premier league back then but with the internet started following it. 25 years later I think i've seen just a handful of victories against Liverpool. I was probably one of very few Australians back then following Everton until Tim Cahill showed up. Everyone else is a top 4 supporter otherwise you're just wasting your time when matches are on at midnight or later. I know everyone here can relate to the lack of success of recent times so this is nothing new, but overseas, the first question I get asked is "Why Everton?"
It really makes you think, looking back spending all that time following a football team, waiting for success. No wonder people get emotional about sports. F*** man...
