Everton On This Day revisits all the most magical and memorable moments from the club's distinguished past, mixing in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable diary of royal blue history - with an entry for every day of the year. From the club's Victorian roots, playing at Anfield in salmon pink or even ruby red, right up to the Premier League era, Evertonians have witnessed glorious league and cup triumphs, a record top-tier run, a World Cup semi-final at Goodison Park and heady nights of European conquest culminating against Bayern Munich and Rapid Vienna in 1985 - all featured here. All-time greats including Dixie Dean, Ted Sagar and Brian Labone, Alan Ball, Graeme Sharp and Neville Southall loom larger than life, appearing alongside Everton heroes such as Harry Catterick, Howard Kendall and the "Golden Vision" Alex Young.
Neil Roberts' books on Everton include the critically acclaimed Blues & Beatles. A newspaper and television journalist, he has worked for the Liverpool Echo, the BBC and ITN among others, as well as being the original writer of The Evertonian magazine. Neil was born into an Everton-loving family, and his two sons now follow in the tradition.
