An epic tale John - part saga, part farce and part tragedy, well told in your own inimitable style. I look forward to the next instalment.

Brilliant piece, John, full of quotable lines that I'll be quoting. Nice way to start the day.
Cheers.

Wish I had the ability and perseverance to write an article like that, John.

Hugely entertaining and one of the best reasons ever to be an Evertonian (whether we like it or not).

Very good episode, I could relate to a lot of it starting after the war, the bitter and the sweet times, mostly bitter unfortunately, I've even started going out in short sleeve shirts, thankfully only when it is very warm outside!

Roll on the next episode, John.

Outstanding John, brilliant humour and so it is, the way it is.

Evertonians, will never give up.

Looking at BMD today, it’s going really well, it seems, week on week.

Today, I was speaking to the building gate man, supervising deliveries in, and we had a good talk. He is convinced the construction is on track.

I sense it will be the best football amphitheatre, in British football for atmosphere., and style, it’s incredible to think of the transformation of the old dock.

Let’s hope that the completion of the new stadium, will be a new era for Everton FC.

UTFTs!

Great job John.

Cant wait for the next chapter which hopefully will give us some inspiration for the future.
