Using this mug for my cuppa, tonight. Delighted that Goodison Park will see out the final year of its life as a top-flight stadium.

Gwladys

In Everton’s title-winning 1938/39 season, the Toffees lost to the Bees in London but won 2-1 at Goodison. Tommy Lawton, seen here trying a spot of croquet, scored twice. For more info, read Broken Dreams: Everton, The War and Goodison’s Lost Generation.

Aside from being Everton’s secretary & a club director for a decade, my great-grandfather, Bill Sawyer, was secretary of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal Co. I recently came across this beauty, presented to him in 1905.

Make it a hat-trick of visits to Everton FC Heritage Society at St Luke's in a week, by calling in tomorrow. You won't regret it. All the usual great stalls plus Steve Dickinson with his new book on sale.

Gary Lambert 🤗💙 Thank you!

Coincidentally, I registered the repeated internal Leitch latticework only recently. The Bullens is rich in detail.

Rob Sawyer's got a great piece on the stand here: efcheritagesociety.com/the-story-of-t…

The final image is amazing. How many people have taken those stairs?

Well now starts me posting some unseen* photos from the game against Notts Forest. Getting invited to shoot the match was a mindblowing experience as sports photography was something I’d never considered before. And it was the hardest way I’ve ever watched a match before. (1/2)

Evertonians - continue the feelgood factor from last night’s derby with a dive into the story of arguably the finest Everton side to grace Goodison Park. Lawton, Jones, Sagar, Gillick, Mercer, Stevenson, Greenhalgh & more feature in Rob Sawyer ‘s book.

‘Battle of the books’ at St Luke’s between Peter Kenny Jones & Becky Tallentire before yesterday’s match.

It’s not just the EFC players who got a sweat on, last night, at a rocking Goodison.

The Gwladys - roaring the Blues on since 1938.

Now, that's my kind of Everton.

How the Glwladys Sings The Blues fanzine marked the arrival of Joe Royle as Everton manager in 1994. The perceptive article was penned by Charles Mills Sr. - grandfather of James Corbett (James Corbett ), the fanzine’s editor.

Ted Sagar was no stranger to Merseyside derbies in his long & distinguished EFC career. The glovesman was one of the few Toffeemen to serve abroad during WW2. His story is one of those told in Broken Dreams: Everton, The War and Goodison’s Lost Generation.

With it being St George's Day, it's worth flagging up the England Football Online website. It's a superb resource about the England national teams and players.

The Merseyside derby tomorrow. In the 1938/39 season, the Blues beat the Reds at home & away. Stan Bentham (scorer in both) was the ‘engine room’ of the side & a very good EFC coach in the 1950s. He features in Broken Dreams, out now with Toffeeopolis

I often ponder how Tommy Lawton’s career would have developed without a seven-season hiatus. I cover his phenomenal 1938/39 season, & what happened next, in Broken Dreams: Everton, The War and Goodison’s Lost Generation. Out on Toffeeopolis tomorrow:
