Renowned Merseyside football reporter Christopher Beesley brings us the inside story of Everton’s historic first season at Hill Dickinson Stadium, their stunning new home on the waterfront. From the humble setting of Accrington Stanley for the Blues’ first pre-season friendly to the Premier League Summer Series – where he was the only UK journalist dedicated to covering David Moyes’ men in the USA – Beesley covers all the big stories from Everton’s early months at their riverside base, using his professional insight to give readers a unique view of life inside world football’s toughest domestic division. Featuring exclusive interviews with manager David Moyes, key Everton players and stadium architect Dan Meis, this is a unique portrait of a new era for a club that has played more top-flight seasons than any other in English football. Essential reading for every Evertonian!
