It’s ten years since we took these matchday images at St Luke’s church hall. Great memories of visits from Pat VDH, John Bailey & Peter Reid. Lovely to see former EFCHS members Paul Wharton & Billy Smith in these.
We’ll be at our new matchday base on Fulton Street on 29 Nov.

Born on this day in 1893, Jack Cock.
The colourful Cornishman, who fancied himself as a music hall entertainer, preceded Dixie Dean as the Toffees’ centre-forward. He also served in combat in WW1.

At Everton for less than one season, Leigh Roose’s adventurous, extrovert style of goalkeeping left a huge impression. It was a short but eventful chapter in a remarkable but truncated life, described by @mikeroyden.bsky.social (filmed by @lewisroyden.bsky.social ):

Wishing our former player James McCarthy a fantastic 35th birthday. James was part of a powerful midfield with Gareth Barry from 2013, onwards. Sadly, injury impacted his later EFC career. It was great to see him back in royal blue at @evertonstadium.com in August.

Celebrating his 65th birthday, today, the Blues’ most successful skipper, Kevin Ratcliffe. The former youth player became the 5th-highest appearance maker for the Toffees. At his peak, the Welsh centre-back appeared to be unbeatable for pace.
Have a great day, Skipper!
