"I THINK there'll be quite a lot of tears in here on Sunday - including me,’ says June Sewards.

June, 63, is licensee of The Black Horse pub on County Road in Walton, and she is busy preparing for Everton men’s final game at Goodison Park.

Evertonian June, originally from Croxteth but a Walton resident since 1984, has been in charge of the venue for 28 years. She loves running what has always been a bustling matchday pub, integral to so many Blues’ matchday experiences for years.

She told the ECHO: “Running this pub is great. The customers are absolutely spot on - you will never meet nicer customers than ours who come in on a matchday.

“The people are lovely. They're really lovely people. I’ve seen grandads, sons, granddaughters, grandsons.”
