Poetic licence I'm sure, but it certainly conjures up an image - imagine what it will look like after the Southampton game! Previous Message
Pinched from the pitch after the Coventry game in 1998 and taken home in the back of my mum’s car. Previous Message
...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... )
