Sounds like cracking day, Paul. I know someone always takes issue with your player ratings so apologies in advance, but McCarthy was at least an 8! I know his role isn't spectacular, but 'solid' is underselling it!

Got my mouth watering with this story of your Goodison trip and hob-nobbing with the high and mighty, Paul. I am about to take the pilgrimage myself in 2 weeks time, but in the Captains Table Lounge – story is with Michael K at the moment for editing and publishing. Can't wait to get the experience again, been a helluva long time coming, but you've wet my appetite even more. Great article, thanks for sharing.

...and I screwed up in my story, calling the Winslow the "Winston" - which was a pub in Southampton!!! One of us will get it right soon...

RIP Alex "Sandy" Brown - a great Evertonian left-back in the 60's and 70's

I used to visit one or two of the lounges every season and have always enjoyed the experience but, since a few years ago, I rely on a wheelchair and scooter to get around as I can no longer walk. This restricts the places in the ground I'm able to visit so I doubt if I could even get near to 'The Dixie' and getting from the lounge to a seat would be impossible. A pity really as I had plans to go there one day.
