Lived just a few doors down from me, spoke footy with him a few times.

A proper blue until his last breath.

Sadly after losing Andy King earlier in the week, Tony McNamara who played for us in the early 1950's has sadly passed away.
Tony made his debut at Elland Road back in 1951 as Tommy Egglington notched a brace as Everton won 2-1.
Tony was still a regular visitor to to Goodsion Park who attended the games with his son.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Tony is seated in the middle of the picture.

Was this the game when Davie Hickson made his debut?.

Tony was a true gentleman. For the past couple of years he attended the Pass on the Memories group for dementia sufferers run by Everton in the Communitywhere I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times .
A sad loss for the Everton family.
Condolences to his wife and family.

I went to pay my respects to Tony McNamara today at his funeral service in his local church in Huyton. Once again Tony would have been proud of the send off he got. It was of course well represented by Everton FC with Graham Stuart saying a few words and also Henry Mooney from the former players foundation.
It was nice to see so many players from yesteryear who formed a guard of honour outside the church.
It would have been his and his widow Doreen's 54th wedding anniversary tomorrow.

I attended the funeral yesterday at St Agnes and thought it was a very moving event.
Sincere condolences to Tony's family. Good to hear some stories from his playing days in the fifties and the whole thing made me proud to be an Evertonian as the many people there connected with the club conducted themselves with dignity and respect.
Thought Graham Stuart was a credit to the club in the way he paid his respects and spoke about "the Everton family".
Evertonians are special.
