I'm fairly new to football (2009), and admittedly only watched the big 4(not much access to any other teams initially), but things have really opened up after the World Cup in 2010. I followed the bread crumbs here from one of my favourite Arsenal players, Arteta, and started watching intermittently whenever I could find a game. Then as I got gradually more into the sport, I noticed a lot of my favourite footballers have spent a fair share of time in the Royal blue: Beardsley, Speed, Cahill, Big Dunc, and others. I dont have any connection to Merseyside or anything like that, and I may have a different relationship to football than people who've grown up with it, but I think Everton are a great club that play exciting football with great fans. The kits don't look too bad either
To hell with Liverpool and Rangers, up the Toffees!
