Mick Lynch is every journalists dream/nightmare
He’s so eloquent, he knows exactly what he’s talking about and he never ever loses his rag.
Top man - the world needs more like him 💪🏼
Got a call from Nancy & Alex Young’s daughter to tell me she passed away peacefully at the weekend.
I spoke to her a couple of weeks ago, she said she was unwell & looking forward to seeing Alex again.
Fly high, Nancy with the Laughing Face 😢 👇🏻
I took this picture in Gordon West’s back garden. I would visit him when he was in recovery from his knee replacement.
I truly loved him, he was funny, kind, sensitive and creative. I still miss him.

I’d say this is the best publicity they’re ever going to get.
If you hadn’t been a draft dodger, you’d understand the meaning of ‘shooting yourself in the foot’
May the Red Hen go from strength to strength 💪🏼
After our first date, he brought me home in a taxi and that was just the swankiest thing ever.
We went into our house and all my family were sitting there, waiting for us to come home so they could meet him.

Everybody who’s outraged that Dele Alli turned up to work in a posh car …
This was Tony Kay parking his gold Jaguar on Goodison Rd in 1962.
Move along please, nothing new to see here.

All these people jumping on the Bill Kenwright grief bandwagon - who, not so long so were berating him and calling him every cnut under the sun…
Fly high Bill 💙 you were always kind to me when I was a junior reporter
The first time I saw my first book on sale in the Megastore, I cried.
The launch was in the Dixie Dean Lounge at Goodison.
HK wrote the foreword & told me a secret about each player to include in their chapter. It’s 20 years since it was published. 😳

We lost the magnificent John Hurst today.
A truly superb player, gentleman and loyal servant playing 404 games in a career spanning a dozen years.
God bless, Big John 💙🧡

So emotional, I’m crying here 😭

Call off the dogs.
Schofield is finished because of the moral outrage of people who don’t even know him.
He’s in a legal, consensual relationship.
You will hound this man to death. For some inexplicable reason, I imagine that’s your intention
@RevRichardColes
I think he must have had the very rare/mild/imaginary version. He was singing like a canary the day he was released.
My sister still can’t string a sentence together without cracking her ribs with coughing
@CBobblers1878
I was at Goodison today for the first time for ages. Met up with some dear old friends before. I was quite emotional seeing these magnificent banners and hearing the new/old songs … and then we went and won!
It was a truly brilliant day, one I’ll never forget. 💪🏻💙
When I wrote Still Talking Blue, Mike Lyons (he doesn’t like being called Mick) requested this photo be in there because it’s his favourite.

Colin wasn’t very superstitious but he always had a small glass of Harvey’s Bristol Cream and a sandwich before he left for the game.

This was the first final broadcast in colour (although nobody had a colour TV) so both teams wore their away kit.
1-0 - Geoff Astle scored the winner. 🙁
@Chloeh116
Wow Chloe - you’re so radical. And what a stunning effect it had on the tens of thousands of jubilant Evertonians. 👀
You’re top of the league, love - enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think
Reading about the behaviour of certain Evertonians is arse-clenchingly embarrassing.
Stop living down to everybody’s expectations. Have a bit of class, you tragic wankers. 😖

No, he’s just the last ‘easy’ target for you to take your out disappointment/anger on.
If you think our problems began with Benitez, you either haven’t been paying attention or you’re 9 years old.
Pat Gaskill was introduced to Jimmy Gabriel by Bobby Collins. They married shortly after.
'We couldn't marry on a Saturday because he was playing and football was always his priority, so we booked it for the Monday. He had a day off from training.'

6 in 10 Daily Mail readers?
They’re filled with bile and hatred so they don’t count as regular people. Ordinary folk don’t really care what they do as long as they’re happy 🤷🏻♀️
I lost my mum 4 years ago. I don’t go a single day without missing her and still weep for no apparent reason because my heart is, and always will be, broken.
Have a bit of respect - a man has lost his mother. Let’s keep this in perspective please.

I’m collecting pictures of Alex Young - the Golden Vision - for his widow, Nancy.
She said she’d love as many as possible so she can look at them every day.
If you have, please get it to me and I’ll send them to her. 💙

Aah, it all seems like a dream to me now.
Filmed at Goodison in 1997 when he refused to speak to the press - it was the first time I’d heard the Big Man’s voice.
So excited for the match today. 😁🙌🏼💙
Play up, Toffees
