This was the proudest day of my whole life. Returning to Goodison Park after 40 years and hearing the crowd cheer one more time. I really had no idea. Still gives me goosebumps - thanks Evertonians, I love you 💪🏻

After I was banned, I moved to Benidorm working as a barman & avoiding the press. Occasionally, I’d be hunted down by an Evertonian, bringing me a pair of boots or a pocket full of cash from a whip-round in their local. I will never forget. #EFC #everton #COYB #Utft

Wearing an #Everton top in support of the new manager. Get behind your team, Blues. It pains me to hear Evertonians wishing disaster on the club - a club which had Allardyce in the dugout. Things have been far worse. Support your team through thick and thin. Up the Toffees

After I was banned, I missed football so much, me and my pal, Willo would drive around on Sunday mornings with our footy boots looking for a match. We’d pray somebody hadn’t turned up so we could get a game. I played competitively until I was 62

When I first came to Everton, I stayed in the Lord Nelson. I went to the cinema & when the lights came on, I realised Jimmy Greaves was in front of me. I tapped him on the shoulder & he said, ‘f @ck me, he’s even following me here!’ Everybody loved him. What a loss. God bless

When I was a broken man who had lost literally everything, Joey Murray wrapped his arms around me and kept me sane. We lost him yesterday & the world is already a poorer place. A great Evertonian & thoroughly decent man. God bless, my friend 💙 I’ll never forget you
