Michael Foot had us as his second team John. His ode to Everton is quite famous, and very truthful. Here we go....


Michael Foot penned this heart-felt ode to Everton in 1935

It's National Poetry Day - and to help Evertonians celebrate the occasion we have republished a memorable Ode written by former Labour leader Michael Foot.

Ode to Everton FC

When at Thy call my weary feet I turn


The gates of paradise are opened wide

At Goodison I know a man can learn

Rapture more rich than Anfield can provide.

In Coulter’s skill and Geldard’s subtle speed

I see displayed in all its matchless bounty

The power of which the heavens decreed

The fall of Sunderland and Derby County.

The hands of Sagar, Dixie’s priceless head

Made smooth the path to Wembley till that day

When Bolton came. Now hopes are fled

And all is sunk in bottomless dismay.

And so I watch with heart and temper cool

God’s lesser breed of men at Liverpool.

Bill, i stand corrected.
Marinsquare, thank you for that, not into poetry (just don't get it) but love that line that sums up Goodison Park, " The gates of paradise opened wide) massive admirer of Michael Foot, even more so now. JJC.

Ian Smith (Harold Bishop from Neighbours)
I suppose Justin Beiber is on there somewhere as he is reported to be an Everton fan.

Loved that goal. Siggy & Pickford already shown what good signings they are.
The look of resignation on the Split players after that went in, priceless. :D Ken

I rather enjoyed the way the Split players argued over who was going to take the penalty :D
