The living legend Dr Everton, aka Dr David France, is back with another video of rich memories. This is one of three videos produced on behalf of The Everton FC Heritage Society by Royden Media (Mike and son Lewis Royden) to celebrate David’s contributions to Everton and Evertonians.
In this one, entitled The Legacy of Dr Everton – My EFC Initiatives, the remarkable curator of Everton’s history is being interviewed by Chris Beesley at the Winslow about his recollections of founding Gwladys Street’s Hall of Fame — the first Hall of Fame in English football (David got advice from the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York), the Everton Former Players’ Foundation, The Everton Collection, The Everton FC Heritage Society, Everton War Memorials and Founding Fathers of Merseyside Football Portraits.
As most of you may know, David is also the author of 19 Everton books. #20 is in the works — Dr Everton’s Toffeemen, a limited edition opus of 5,000 pages.
The other two videos produced by Roydon are The Legacy of Dr Everton – Desert Island Memorabilia (with David Prentice) and Everton’s Swinging Sixties, a season-by-season retrospective of that colourful era.
