Description
Liverpool Football Club Ruined My Life Sixty Years of Supporting Everton is a personal and nostalgic account of the author's 60 years supporting Everton. The book takes readers on a journey through the author's life, from his early days as an Everton fan in the early 1960s to the present day, with a focus on the key matches and events that have shaped the club's history. The author reflects on some of the major events and eras he lived through, including the Vietnam War, the Thatcher years, and 9/11, and how these experiences influenced his love for the club. Along the way, he shares his memories of Everton's decline and the hope of a possible reversal, including the 1971 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Liverpool and the excitement of winning cup finals at home and in Europe in the 1980s. This book offers a unique perspective on the experiences of the post-war baby-boomers, including the generational conflict they faced and the new opportunities offered by the expansion of higher education.
