Real Footballers Wives – Ann West
Gordon West joined Everton from Blackpool for £27,500 in March 1962, ‘a world record that will never be broken’ according to the press, as the miner’s son from Barnsley became Harry Catterick’s first signing. Athletic, agile determined and composed, West played in goal 399 times for Everton and collected a full complement of medals before leaving the club in 1973. Tempted back out of retirement by Tranmere Rovers in October 1975, he played 17 games in total and provided first-team cover for four years before calling it a day. He appeared three times for England and it would probably have been more but he withdrew from the 1970 World Cup squad for family reasons.

When your trainer tells you to push past your comfort zone, he doesn’t mean wear shorts that will chafe you. Running is uncomfortable enough without skin irritation and wedgies. You are more likely to push yourself and stick with your training if you aren’t distracted by your shorts. Set yourself up for success by purchasing a pair of comfortable, breathable running shorts.
