In this issue

I didn’t think we’d get it done this month. I really thought we’d have to abandon the plan and re-think the entire piece.

I am referring to the Around The Table feature with three of our brightest young stars. Tom Davies, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Mason Holgate are very close pals but when we sat them down for the group interview they couldn’t resist the opportunity to wind each other up and, consequently, as we were filming it for The Everton Show, we needed half a dozen attempts to get it up and running!

We got there in the end though and it was good to see three young Premier League footballers interacting so comfortably with each other. There will certainly be more to come from all three of them – both on the field of play and between the pages of the Club magazine.

Hopefully, they’ll emulate the longevity that Roger Kenyon enjoyed. Roger was a mainstay of the team in the 1970s and was a guest at the Everton Former Players' Foundation Christmas Dinner. He was terrific company and enjoyed reminiscing about his time at Goodison Park. The opening quote on the introduction page is a cracker!
Ademola Lookman is our cover star this month and he’s a thoroughly likeable young man who is clearly looking forward to making his mark at Everton. Hopefully his interview is the first of many!

Look out too for interviews and features with the likes of Joel Robles, Leighton Baines, Ramiro Funes Mori and Liam Walsh.

A belated Happy New Year and enjoy the first Everton magazine of 2017…
