Grime music?

I have to admit, I had to google that before we put together an exclusive interview with Yannick Bolasie! Our winger, who is still working on his rehab from injury, is a keen exponent of grime music and not only enjoys listening to it, but can also have a go himself.

In fact, one of the biggest ‘grime clashes’ of the year was Yannick Bolasie v Bradley Wright-Phillips – you’ll need to read the article to fully understand!

A bit more straightforward (but not by much!) was the Around the Table session we did with Graeme Sharp and Ian Snodin as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of our last Championship success. We did well to keep them under control long enough to film the chat as well – which you’ll see in the none too distant future on The Everton Show!

Another significant anniversary in 2017 is that it’s 10 years since the untimely passing of Alan Ball and we pay tribute to the Blues legend.

Alessandro Pistone hasn’t been back to Goodison since leaving Everton but we caught up with the Italian for our Former Player feature this month. Sandro is doing a bit of coaching and he owns a restaurant in Italy. I wonder if he plays grime music during courses?

Other highlights include Tom Davies discussing his new contract and a look into the success of the Blues' Academy, some tales from nearly 40 years at the Club from Dr Ian Irving, ahead of his retirement at the end of the season, U23s striker Bassala Sambou on his first season with the Blues and one-time Premier League striker Jason Roberts looks back on his career which included a spell alongside Leighton Baines at Wigan Athletic.
