    Everton superfan Dr David France: Gods of Goodison | Goodison Park: My Home

    Everton superfan Dr David France: Gods of Goodison | Goodison Park: My Home

    Although Goodison Park: My Home is a series mostly dedicated to Everton players, we make a change of gear for part 4 as Chris Beesley speaks to Blues super fan Dr David France.
    Growing up in humble surroundings in Widnes and coming from a family of Evertonians stretching back five generations, the 75-year-old affectionately known as 'Dr Everton' is a retired oil and gas industry executive who sold his 10,000-item collection of Everton memorabilia to the club at a heavily discounted price so it could be kept for posterity while also founding the Everton Former Players’ Foundation to raise money for the physical and pastoral care of ex-professionals who have represented the club.
    He was also the founder and driving force behind the Gwladys Street Hall of Fame, the EFC Heritage Society, Everton War Memorials and has authored 19 books about Everton with proceeds donated to Merseyside charities.
    Making transatlantic trips to watch his beloved Blues play having moved to the USA several decades ago, David has watched many of Everton's greatest players over the years while also befriending lots of them through his projects.

    Everton safety secured with 'boring' 1-0 win

    Everton safety secured with 'boring' 1-0 win

    Idrissa Gueye’s second goal in consecutive weekends secured a third successive home win for Everton and a result that ensured Sean Dyche’s side are now mathematically safe going into the final month of the season.
    Despite two separate points deductions, the Blues will now go into their last season at Goodison Park as a Premier League club.

    More Merseyside Derby Reaction! Brentford Preview!

    The Blues are back in action against Brentford on Saturday and manager Sean Dyche has a number of big decisions to make.
    Ian Croll, Dan Haygarth and Joe Thomas headed into the Royal Blue studio to discuss and debate those big decisions. 
    Of course, Sean Dyche will be looking ahead to Saturday’s encounter with Brentford, however the lads are still on cloud 9 from Wednesday’s famous win, with more Merseyside Derby discussion on the agenda. 
    Everton's win over Liverpool on Wednesday night propelled the Blues to within touching distance of safety in the Premier League. 
    The lads will also preview Brentford with a win all but set to guarantee survival.

    Everton 2-0 Liverpool | Merseyside Derby Ecstasy

    Everton 2-0 Liverpool | Merseyside Derby Ecstasy

    Join Ian Croll, Joe Thomas & Gav Buckland as they look back at a famous Merseyside Derby win under the lights at Goodison Park.
    A superb display gave Everton their first Merseyside Derby on home turf since October 2010 as they beat Liverpool 2-0.
    Blues fans mocked their neighbours by chanting "you lost the league at Goodison Park" after goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin either side of the break gave Sean Dyche’s side a richly-deserved three points to hand defeat to Jurgen Klopp on his last trip across Stanley Park.

Five stars

Not an Everton fan but always listen to the pod. Keep up the good work.

Must listen for all Blues

This is a must listen for all Evertonians. Good insight from the people on the ground. The audio quality could sometimes be better, although I’ve never had too much of an issue hearing it.

Good Pod - Terrible sound/ volume

Please sort volume issues - adverts are at normal volume, pod is much lower. This results in being deafened whenever adverts are interspersed.

Please ask Chris to stop using term “petrodollar- fuelled” and phrase “lowest points total in the club’s history”. They have become so tired…. does he get paid each they are used or is he doing it for a bet?

Otherwise love the discussions as there is often much to agree and disagree with about the club we love (hate).
