Everton Magazine - February 2015-16

In this issue

Welcome to the February edition of your Everton magazine. What have Britain’s Got Talent, the US Super Bowl and Match of the Day got in common? Well, they are all, in some, way, shape or form featured this month! Amanda Holden tells us about her link with Everton in the Community and her passion for our Club, the Under-21s undertake a keepy-up challenge using an American football and Gary Lineker features strongly as we look back on 1985/86 when we narrowly missed out on the Double but our record-breaking striker made himself a huge hit with the faithful. Steven Naismith hasn’t long left Everton but he is still, of course, eligible to fill our Former Player slot in the magazine and so when he came back to Finch Farm recently to finally clear his locker and say his final goodbyes we sat down with him to talk about his time at Goodison and his future at Carrow Road. Our new £13.5m man, Oumar Niasse, is also a star of this month’s issue. No sooner had he breezed into Finch Farm than he was ‘up against the wall’ posing for his first cover shot. We hope it won’t be his last! Jeff Winter recalls one of his more ‘regrettable’ performances as a Premier League referee at Goodison Park and Bryan Oviedo tells us of his ambitions for this season and beyond. I often wonder how we fit it all in! But we do… so enjoy this month’s Everton magazine. Darren Griffiths, Editor.
