Royal Blue: The Everton FC Podcast

Everton will host a special ‘End of an Era’ celebration after the final whistle of the final game at Goodison Park. Guest presenters, current and former players and live music will all feature as part of the post-match entertainment to mark the historic occasion. The event will last for around an hour and will follow what is set to be an emotional match against Southampton - the game that will mark the conclusion of 133-years of the club’s senior men’s team playing at the iconic stadium. Before the match a special coach welcome will be organised to welcome the players. That is set to be organised by the 1878s supporters' group, which held one spectacular final display in the stands ahead of the draw with Ipswich Town last Saturday. Join Ian Croll, Joe Thomas a guest Damian Kennedy for the Friday edition of the Royal Blue podcast as they look ahead to Fulham away and discuss Goodison Park’s final game.

Dave Watson, Everton’s most-recent trophy-winning captain, is Chris Beesley’s latest guest on Goodison Park: My Home. The centre-half was the Blues’ skipper when they defeated Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United side 1-0 in the 1995 FA Cup final and recalls an incredible story about what happened to the famous silverware that night after the Wembley victory. Scouser Watson, who grew up on Boundary Street, close to the new Everton Stadium, started his professional career across Stanley Park with Liverpool – for whom his brother Alex later played – but never made a first team appearance before joining Norwich City in 1980. While with the Canaries, he made his England debut, winning his first of 12 caps for the Three Lions, in a 2-0 win over Brazil in the Maracana Stadium before lifting the League Cup the following year. He returned to his home city in 1986 when Howard Kendall snapped him up for Everton for a then club record £900,000 fee and was part of their last League Championship-winning side in his first season at Goodison Park. Now 63, Watson made 528 appearances for the Blues – the third highest in history behind Neville Southall (751) and Brian Labone (534) – and also had a stint as caretaker manager in 1997 following Joe Royle’s exit before having a season in charge of Tranmere Rovers in 2001/02 to serve all three of Merseyside’s professional football clubs.

Everton threw away a two goal lead against an already relegated Ipswich Town side to be held to a frustrating 2-2 draw in Goodison Park’s penultimate fixture. With a series of spectacular displays in the stands courtesy of fan group the 1878s, the two sides took to the pitch with a ticker tape welcome and the party atmosphere looked like continuing for the hosts. Beto headed David Moyes’ side ahead on 26 minutes and nine minutes later, Dwight McNeil doubled their lead with a strike that left visiting keeper Alex Palmer rooted to the spot. However, an incredible, swerving drive from Julio Enciso four minutes before the interval handed the Suffolk side a lifeline and they shocked the Blues with a headed back post equaliser from substitute George Hirst 11 minutes from the end to earn a share of the spoils. Join Ian Croll, Chris Beesley and Gavin Buckland for reaction and debate on the latest Royal Blue Podcast.  Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:  https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir [https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir] Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here: https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd [https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd] Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.
