...out of the turf.
Terrible behaviour.

No idea exactly where, as I laid it about 20 years ago and it's indistinguishable from the rest of the dandelion-infested tract.
Acquired it when the pitch was being relaid, along with a corner flag which, I'm reliably informed, Tim Cahill once punched... 😊
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a remarkably nearby field
That is for ever Everton. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom Everton bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, oft-time, her flowers to love, her ways of lore;
A body of Everton's, breathing English air,
Washed by sweat, blest by suns of L4.
(Sorry Roops... )
