Publisher's Synopsis
EVERTON GREATS is a collection of interviews with the biggest names, past and present, at Everton FC, from the World Cup-winning Alan Ball to the Golden Vision himself, Alex Young. The book spans the decades from the 1950s through to the 'new breed', including current stars Wayne Rooney and Kevin Campbell. There's an in depth look not only at high-profile ex-players like Andy Gray and Peter Reid, but also the less publicity-conscious personalities such as Roger Kenyon. The players themselves are asked what made their time at Everton so special, and why - in many cases - they were in teams that underachieved. The book also reveals what the players think of each other - and in some cases this is far from complimentary. And to bring everything up to date, it looks at the club as it is today - resurgent, revived and back on the glory trail. EVERTON GREATS is respectful but fun-packed, and it proves that not all ex-players become publicians or football managers.
