With @Everton about to get its summer programme of fixtures in the USA underway, I look back on @evertoniasite to the Toffees' participation in a tournament in North America in 1961: evertonia.com/articles/45815…

Coleraine man Billy (Willie) Cook joined the Toffees from Celtic in 1932. An imposing but talented full-back, he wrote an anonymous column for Topical Times magazine & later managed the Peruvian national team. More: efcheritagesociety.com/billy-cook-the… He features in Broken Dreams, out now.

🏟️💙 This is it. The final month of football at Goodison Park. As we count down to Everton's last ever match at the Grand Old Lady on 18 May, we're celebrating the club’s extraordinary story through the books that captured its heart, its people, and its proud history.

Greatest Goodison headers? A few old favourites mentioned in this #EFC match programme piece from Saturday to mark 40 years since Andy Gray's pair of brilliant diving headers v Sunderland. @EvertonHeritage

Although born 118 years ago, joining Everton exactly 100 years ago, today, & passing away 45 years ago (at Goodison, naturally), Dixie Dean remains the definitive Everton player. He transcended football to enter the wider consciousness. Seen here with my great-grandad c. 1926.

My new article for @evertoniasite tells the story of Andy Tucker - from soldier to Olympic swimming trainer, acquaintance of Johnny Weissmuller & Everton's assistant trainer in the rollercoaster 1930s: evertonia.com/articles/45687…

Forty years ago, today, Harry Catterick passed away at Goodison Park at the age of 65. Very few people have equalled his influence on @Everton . I was honoured to write his biography, a decade ago. More on him, on the @EvertonHeritage website: efcheritagesociety.com/harry-catteric…
