Everton Magazine - July 2015-16

In this issue

A lot of the content for this month’s magazine was collated during the pre-season trip to Austria.
The new staff and the players flew out of Liverpool on the Monday morning for a six-day tour and some of the downtime was spent in the company of Everton magazine.
There are worse locations than in the shadow of the Austrian Alps to speak to the new manager, his technical staff and some of the players. In fact, the incessant rain over the village of Schruns meant our reporters had more time than usual to gather content because there was no real urgency to explore the beautiful surrounding area!
We certainly utilised every spare moment, getting new kit photo-shoots, behind the scenes footage and I even conducted an interview with 2010 World Cup final goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg on the flight back from St Gallen to John Lennon Airport!
Fifty years have passed since Goodison hosted football immortals such as Pele and Eusebio and in this month’s issue we take a nostalgic look at the five 1966 World Cup games that were staged on our patch. Not that Pele will recall them with much affection!
Enjoy your July magazine… and look out for our fabulous new-season, new-look Everton magazine in August...
