Everton Magazine - March 2016-17

In this issue

Welcome to your March issue of Everton…

What a month of contrasting emotions it has been for all Evertonians.

Everybody, of course, was deeply saddened by the loss of the great Alex Young. The Golden Vision glided over the often grassless pitches of the 1960s and left an indelible mark on Everton Football Club that the passage of time will never erase. We pay tribute to him this month.

We also acknowledge the achievement of Tony Bellew. The lifelong Blue delivered the first part of what we all hoped would be a ‘dream weekend double’ with his fantastic 11th-round victory over David Haye but, although the team subsequently lost at Tottenham Hotspur, we did have the consolation of Romelu Lukaku breaking our Premier League goalscoring record.
One of the first people to congratulate The Bomber when he popped into USM Finch Farm was Ronald Koeman and the boss is the subject of our in-depth interview. And a very revealing and insightful piece it is, too.

Add Romelu Lukaku, Ross Barkley, Mason Holgate, Leighton Baines, Olivier Dacourt, the 1977 League Cup run and Spanish pundit Guillem Balague into the mix and you’ve got another terrific issue of the official Club magazine.

Enjoy!
