A fascinating read, as always, Rob. Thanks for sharing these tales of yesteryear with us all, & for your efforts in carrying out all the research required in the first place.

Hi Rob,

I can't claim to be your number one fan but as someone who revels in the history of Everton and their players I always read your articles and the pleasure you provide. Well done, once again.

I find your articles very interesting, Rob. The research must be extremely time-consuming. Well done to you and all the Everton FC Heritage Society.

I suppose some of this stuff seems like ancient history to many people, but our fathers and grandfathers will have seen it take place. Which made me think what a depth of knowledge there is on this site, where some of the correspondents have supported Everton FC for half its existence.

Rob, that was an excellent piece, on a real character, who wore the Royal Blue. Thanks for all your effort and time that has gone into this article. It was a real pleasure to read.

What an excellent, well researched post! Bringing even more of our history alive, thanks Rob.
A great story of a great man, a great Evertonian and a great trade unionist!

Yes, Rob, take a bow for getting me to read that. I'm not a history buff but that brutal beginning kept me in it. The pictures are very compelling, nice touch.
