Near Toronto- a little place up North called Newmarket. Not many blues here if you're wondering.

Dad was from Bootle which was hotbed of Evertonians in 1920s. Large family of Blues including some from older generation who had seen 1906 cup final. He was one of seven, all blues. One or two of their grand children broke with the tradition but my dad's branch of the family did not. So it runs in the family.

I think Everton just followed me around, i didn't even like football till i was in the last year of primary, hated it actually. Uncle supported them though and he pretty much was as close to a father figure I had at the time , just kept hearing their results week in week out and suddenly realised I had started following them unwittingly. I originally come from North West of Ireland but a while ago i had the chance to move to a few places for work in UK. Chose Liverpool for obvious reasons.
I know everton are a big part of peoples lives, they actually influence decisions. Who your friends are, where you live, where you drink, even who your missus is depending on if shes blue or red. Going up to that ground every the week is as traditional as sunday dinner at your family home or something like that. Its just a big part of the routine. This city is very similar to my family's & friends backgrounds at home, same attitudes same morals etc. You honestly wont find many places on earth as similar. Only other place i found a bit of this was glasgow.
Community wise, when it comes down to it. Fans just want to get the ground, meet their mates. Let loose abit ... celebrate or jeer. But do it in the company of people they've known all their lives. People they know think the same .. and not have to pay 50+quid for that privilege.
Money has ruined the game a bit now, but Moyes really had it right when he called it 'the peoples club' eventhough we have to pay to get in. Its the citys club, a community centre. Players, managers come & go. those people in those stands never change though. For everton to make a kid who hated football think like that, and from out of nowhere. Got to mean something.

Never lived in the city, but was born and spent most of my life on merseyside.
Became an Everton supporter as soon as I was old enough to know (1945 ) that my father had played in the youth teams at the club.
Only wavered once, for about 30 secs, when we sold Dave Hickson.
Never paid to enter 'the den of iniquity' - father took me once or twice, and twice went as complimentary ticket holder with a referee friend ( one of which was an EFC reserve match v Sheff Wed 1966 ).
Haven't watched a single minute of the RS playing in the last 30 years.

Because blue as a colour is much easier on the eye than red, which is a truly horrible colour and should be banned.
Mum's family are turds and RS. Dad's family always seemed ace and were blues. My uncle's house backed on to Walton Lane where goodison just looked brilliant lit up at night, think that swayed me although I don't recall making a conscious decision.

My earliest memory is crying into my puny, stripy NEC away kit - cos Paul Rideout had just scored the goal which gifted us our last major trophy.
My Dad said he would disown us if any of us defected; but even as kids you could smell the delusion from the 'other lot', so we were never tempted.

I go to Ontario often. You should buy me a beer. Or a Timmys at least.

My Dad brainwashed me from the very start, I've never known anything different. I've had the same seat at Goodison Park my entire life, the people around me have too. It is like I have grown up with them now.
