FAREWELL TO A GRAND OLD PLACE

English football institution reaches the end of its long and winding road

- 

RUMOURS have swirled for a while that Sir Paul McCartney will be part of a Goodison Park encore.

Unlikely as it seems, how good would it be for one Merseyside institution to bid farewell to another? Perhaps he could play the Beatles classic 'She's Leaving Home'.

Only Everton - well, the men's first team, at least are leaving the Grand Old Lady. It is not just the club who are losing a bit of their soul.

Football and the city of Liverpool are, too.

Part of what Anfield special makes is Goodison Park and part of what makes Goodison Park special is Anfield.

They are two giant pillars of one community within a roar of each neighbours who fight, other neighbours who unite.
