Time To Move On
Jump to last I don’t think many people will like this article, or agree with it. You might hate me for it. Time to move on means what it says – and it’s what I’ll be doing.
Like many ToffeeWebbers, I have been supporting Everton since I was a youngster. When I was 7 years old, my family moved to Liverpool, though I was already a confirmed Blue by then thanks to my Dad, who had previously lived in Liverpool from 1958 to 1966.
My Dad likes to tell the story of how he came to Liverpool as a young man (from Belfast) and went to watch Liverpool one week and then went to watch Everton the next and sensibly chose the latter. He said Liverpool just didn’t feel right, plus they were in the Second Division and shite, which made the decision even easier.
John Murray â Evertonâs First Boy Mascot
Every once in a while, I post photos on Twitter from my painstakingly-curated Everton archive. As one of lifeâs observers, I particularly love black-and-white pictures; theyâre intriguing and I examine them closely.
Online and suitably hash-tagged, these monochrome mementos awaken memories from similarly nostalgic/thwarted Evertonians. They join the thread with their recollections of that match, their heroes and their recurring disappointments.
Thereâs Roy Vernon in the tunnel at West Ham, wearing the white away kit, focussed and holding the match ball. Gordon West stands behind his right shoulder: weâve heard so many stories about these old war horses, we feel as if we know them.
