There’s a ‘nice-guy’ theme running through this month’s Everton magazine…

Whenever a football club signs a new player there is usually a natural, if slight, element of doubt. Will he fit in off the pitch as well as on it? With Ashley Williams, there was never a question. We knew he’d slot seamlessly into the Everton defence and, after speaking to our counterparts at Swansea City, we were totally confident that he would be the ideal ambassador away from the field of play. Ashley takes his community and fan engagement duties seriously and, as he tells us this month, he already feels a part of the Everton fabric.

And nice guys don’t come any nicer than David Unsworth. The man affectionately known as ‘Rhino’ has done just about everything at Everton and he still loves every minute of every day he spends at Finch Farm and Goodison. An off day? Not a chance! Unsy knows what he wants to do and where he wants to be.

Our Around the Table feature this month is with the three Dutchmen who followed Ronald Koeman to Everton. And guess what? They’re all nice guys!

Add Leighton Baines, Kevin Mirallas, Maarten Stekelenburg, Alex Young and even the Pope into this jam-packed issue and you can see that the theme really is consistent.

Enjoy,
