Player Valuation: Free Transfer
47, single guy, journalist, came somewhat late to footy but fell hard for the Toffees since 2006 or so; as a Yank was first attracted by Tim Howard's presence. My brother-in-law (pre-Abramovich Chelsea supporter) and my best friend (a Leeds United supporter since the 1970's from Chicago) said I needed an English team to follow. I looked around, read a lot and loved the character, class and history associated with Everton and so I am here. So many American fans make the easy ScUM choice or Arsenal or ... them ... and that seemed too easy to me, so the Toffees it was. I made the right call!! Hope to get to Goodison for a game soon! I am a fan of U.S. sports (esp. college American football and baseball) as well but Everton means as much as any of those these days. My favorite all-time and current Everton player would be, since I am a newbie, Howard. Arteta too. Cahill especially because Liverpool people seem to hate him. And I really like Baines on the backline. Found the forums from a Facebook link. Pineapple on pizza: sign of the Apocalypse.
