Everton Magazine - August 2017-18

In this issue

It’s been a busy summer of incomings at Everton - so much so, we simply couldn’t fit all our signings into one magazine!
This month we learn about Jordan Pickford’s humble beginnings and how battling it out between the sticks against seasoned veterans in non-league, while most lads his age still hadn’t finished college, helped shape his future, which saw him become the most-expensive British goalkeeper of all time in June when he joined the Blues.
The inspiring stories don’t end there, as we learn about how Sandro Ramirez left his family home on the laid-back island of Gran Canaria, aged 14, to join Barcelona’s world-famous La Masia academy and chase his dream of becoming a professional footballer.
Cuco Martina completes a hat-trick of first-team feature interviews. The Curacao international is not the first player to point towards Ronald Koeman as one of the reasons to join the Club - but the full-back’s relationship is particularly special after their time together at Southampton.
There is much more, too.
Kevin Campbell fell in love with the Blues from the moment he arrived at the back end of 1998/99. And the fact that he scored sufficient goals to keep us afloat on the good ship Premier League meant that the feeling was mutual. It still is. It’s always a great pleasure to catch up with our former striker and he is just as excited about our immediate future as the supporters.
We’ve also really gone behind the scenes for you this month. Our photographers were granted exclusive access to all our pre-season activity, the Europa League visit to Slovakia and a media day at USM Finch Farm.
Enjoy this month’s Everton…
