The hosts are true Blue fans who bring their love and enthusiasm for the club into every episode. Coupled with their journalistic background, they provide a fantastic homegrown view on all things Everton. It's refreshing to hear their genuine insights and analysis, which adds depth to discussions about the team.

    The heated debates that occasionally arise between the hosts are another highlight. While they may not always agree, these discussions make for highly engaging listening as they delve into different perspectives on various matters surrounding the club.

    Dave Watson Special: Everton's most-recent trophy-winning captain | Goodison Park: My Home

    Dave Watson, Everton's most-recent trophy-winning captain, is Chris Beesley's latest guest on Goodison Park: My Home. The centre-half was the Blues' skipper when they defeated Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United side 1-0 in the 1995 FA Cup final and recalls an incredible story about what happened to the famous silverware that night after the Wembley victory. Scouser Watson, who grew up on Boundary Street, close to the new Everton Stadium, started his professional career across Stanley Park with Liverpool – for whom his brother Alex later played – but never made a first team appearance before joining Norwich City in 1980. While with the Canaries, he made his England debut, winning his first of 12 caps for the Three Lions, in a 2-0 win over Brazil in the Maracana Stadium before lifting the League Cup the following year. He returned to his home city in 1986 when Howard Kendall snapped him up for Everton for a then club record £900,000 fee and was part of their last League Championship-winning side in his first season at Goodison Park. Now 63, Watson made 528 appearances for the Blues – the third highest in history behind Neville Southall (751) and Brian Labone (534) – and also had a stint as caretaker manager in 1997 following Joe Royle's exit before having a season in charge of Tranmere Rovers in 2001/02 to serve all three of Merseyside's professional football clubs.

    Everton threw away a two goal lead against an already relegated Ipswich Town side to be held to a frustrating 2-2 draw in Goodison Park's penultimate fixture. With a series of spectacular displays in the stands courtesy of fan group the 1878s, the two sides took to the pitch with a ticker tape welcome and the party atmosphere looked like continuing for the hosts. Beto headed David Moyes' side ahead on 26 minutes and nine minutes later, Dwight McNeil doubled their lead with a strike that left visiting keeper Alex Palmer rooted to the spot. However, an incredible, swerving drive from Julio Enciso four minutes before the interval handed the Suffolk side a lifeline and they shocked the Blues with a headed back post equaliser from substitute George Hirst 11 minutes from the end to earn a share of the spoils.

    Everton's record-breaking wait for a Premier League win at Stamford Bridge continues as they were beaten 1-0 by Chelsea in the west London sunshine. Nicolas Jackson struck the only goal of the contest on 27 minutes when Beto gave up possession cheaply and the Senegal international striker struck a low drive beyond Jordan Pickford. Although the hosts threatened to run riot at that time having dominated the first half, David Moyes' men, playing their first fixture after their Premier League status had been secured for next season improved as the contest wore on. Abdoulaye Doucoure should have done better with a header just before the break while both Beto and substitute Dwight McNeil were denied in the second half as the visitors searched in vain for an equaliser.

    Chris Beesley is joined by guests Gavin Buckland and David Prentice for a a special edition of the Royal Blue podcast to mark the 40th anniversary of Everton's 3-1 win over Bayern Munich in the European Cup-Winners' Cup semi-final second leg, an occasion widely-regarded as the greatest night in Goodison Park's history. After a goalless first leg in what was then West Germany, Everton, roared on by a passionate home crowd, recovered from a goal down at half-time to power through to what remains their only European final. In what proved to be a legendary team talk, manager Howard Kendall told his players at the interval that "The Gwladys Street would suck the ball into the net," and so it proved with goals from Graeme Sharp and Andy Gray before Trevor Steven's iconic late clincher. Gavin and David, who were both present at Goodison to witness the action, share their memories along with exclusive interviews from Everton players who starred that night: Derek Mountfield, Kevin Sheedy, Kevin Ratcliffe, Peter Reid and Trevor Steven.

    Trevor Steven Special: Memories of Life at Everton | Goodison Park: My Home

    Trevor Steven, the player who scored the goal that produced arguably the loudest roar in the Grand Old Lady's history, is Chris Beesley's latest guest on Goodison Park: My Home. Steven netted the goal that clinched Everton's place in the 1985 European Cup-Winners' Cup final when he sealed the 3-1 win over Bayern Munich in what is widely regarded as Goodison Park's greatest-ever night. Born in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Steven recalls his early football memories, growing up close to England's border with Scotland, before getting his big break in the professional ranks at Burnley, where he played alongside a previous Goodison Park: My Home guest Martin Dobson. Having been snapped up by fellow North Easterner Howard Kendall for £300,000 in 1983, Steven's first season on Merseyside finished with him delivering the cross for Andy Gray's goal to clinch the 2-0 victory over Watford in the FA Cup final. The following season, the midfielder was part of Everton's most-successful side with a memorable goal at Tottenham Hotspur in the title run-in as well as scoring both in the semi-final second leg and final in Europe. Steven then went on to become top scorer in a second Blues' League Championship-winning side in 1987 before departing Goodison after the 1989 FA Cup final. Now 61, Steven, who in 1991 commanded the joint-highest fee for a British player at the time when he moved from Rangers to Marseille for £5.5million, also delivers an important message about how through his work with charity Mindflow, he is trying to use football to help improve mental health in the construction industry.

    Peter Reid Special: ‘Everton's most-important signing since WWII' | Goodison Park: My Home

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 27, 2025 72:46


    Described by Everton's most-successful manager Howard Kendall as the Blues' most-important signing since the Second World War, Peter Reid joins Chris Beesley for the latest episode of Goodison Park: My Home. Reid first played at ‘The Grand Old Lady' when he was just 14 years old for Huyton schoolboys but back then he was a Liverpool fan. The midfielder underwent an emphatic conversion though following his transfer from Bolton Wanderers to Everton in 1982 and having helped the Blues lift the FA Cup in 1984, he was voted PFA Players' Player of the Year by his fellow professionals in 1984/85 as the club enjoyed their best-ever season, winning the League Championship with five games to spare plus the European Cup-Winners' Cup. After suffering the heartbreak of finishing runners-up to Liverpool in both the League and FA Cup the following year – refusing to take part in the joint open top bus parade after the Wembley final between the two local rivals – Reid and his team-mates would bounce back from injury and adversity to secure another title in 1986/87 before Kendall departed. Reid recalls Everton's glory days plus banter with team-mates and fans with his typical sense of humour in what is a fun-filled chat, although he almost spills coffee all over the studio when Chris asks him about an amusing incident in an FA Cup semi-final. Also, ahead of Mothers' Day, there is poignancy as the 68-year-old recalls the emotional scenes when his lifelong Evertonian mum was captured on camera, celebrating the 1985 League Championship success at Goodison Park.   Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here: https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO's Royal Blue YouTube channel.

    Martin Dobson, English football's first £300,000 player, joins Chris Beesley as the latest guest on Goodison Park: My Home to relive Everton matters from the 1970s.  The 77-year-old, who has penned his own autobiography Dobo: For Club and Country, tells the story of how he went from being released by Bolton Wanderers as a teenager to an England international with Burnley and his record-breaking transfer to the Blues in 1974. The classy midfielder has a treasure trove of tails from an era when Everton had several near-misses: in the title race in Dobson's first season, in an epic three-game League Cup final against Aston Villa and a notorious FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool when they were denied a Wembley trip by referee Clive Thomas' controversial decision.  There are also plenty of more-enjoyable moments though as Dobo recalls captaining the Blues to victory in the ‘Andy King' Merseyside Derby, the 6-0 romp against Chelsea when Bob Latchford reached 30 goals for the season and another Goodison game against the west London side when his pal Duncan McKenzie scored for the opposition only for the home crowd to applaud.

Everton extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to eight matches under David Moyes tonight. They played out a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

It also saw the Blues go above Manchester United and West Ham United on goal difference in 14th. Jack Harrison fired Everton ahead on 33 minutes with his first goal of the season as his shot was deflected in off Matt Doherty but Marshall Munetsi restored parity for 17th-placed Wolves seven minutes later after Jarrad Branthwaite was unable to clear a ball into the box.

    Joe Royle Special: Exclusive With Everton Legend | Goodison Park: My Home

    Joe Royle – the only living person to achieve legendary status at Everton as both a player and manager (the other being the late, great Howard Kendall) – invites Chris Beesley to his house for a special episode of Goodison Park: My Home. Royle, who grew up in Norris Green, attending Ranworth Square Primary School before going on to Quarry Bank High School where he developed into a talented all-round sportsman, also excelling in the high jump and swimming, became Everton's youngest-ever player at the time when he was controversially picked ahead of ‘The Golden Vision' Alex Young by Harry Catterick to make his debut at Blackpool aged 16 years and 282 days on January 15, 1966, a record that stood for over 42 years until it was eclipsed by Jose Baxter. Although Royle was part of the Blues team that lost 1-0 after extra time to West Bromwich Albion in the 1968 FA Cup final, alongside the ‘Holy Trinity' midfield of Kendall, Colin Harvey and Alan Ball, plus the likes of captain Brian Labone, goalkeeper Gordon West, fellow Scouser Tommy Wright and his good friend John Hurst, he was top scorer in Everton's 1969/70 League Championship-winning side. Once reaching 29 goals in all competitions in 1968/69, by the time Royle's Everton career had finished, he had netted more times for the club (119) than any player since Dixie Dean. Returning to Goodison Park as manager in November 1994 with the team bottom of the Premier League, he saved the Blues from relegation while also becoming the only manager in Everton history to win a trophy in his first season in charge. Some 30 years on, Royle remains the last Everton manager to secure major silverware for the club, while the following campaign (1995/96), he steered them to sixth place, which was their only top-half finish in the first decade of the Premier League. Now 75, he explains how the circumstances behind his departure continue to perplex him but as a True Blue, he was delighted to return to the Goodison hot seat for one last time as caretaker boss alongside his former player David Unsworth against Norwich City in 2016.

    Everton extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League under David Moyes to seven matches with a spirited comeback to draw 1-1 against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium but could have emerged from this contest with even more had Beto not spurned a hat-trick of golden opportunities.  The Blues spent most of the first half defending but still carved out the best two chances before Youane Wissa capitalised on a defensive lapse from the visitors following a throw-in during stoppage time. Everton kept battling though and were rewarded with Jake O'Brien heading in his first goal for the club on 77 minutes and with the visitors finishing the stronger of the two sides, their one point might have been more had Beto not been denied again.

    Alan Stubbs, the captain who led Everton to fourth place in 2004/05 – their highest ever Premier League position – is the latest guest on Goodison Park: My Home. A lifelong Evertonian from Kirkby, Stubbs was a passionate match-going Blues supporter as a youngster and was also on the club's books as a boy, but his professional career started down the East Lancs Road with Bolton Wanderers.   The former centre-half recalls his breakthrough spell with the Trotters, an attempt by Everton to sign him – that he didn't know about until years later – his big move to Celtic, including some poignant revelations about his cancer battles, and finally getting the chance to join his beloved Blues in his 30th year.  Stubbs enjoyed two separate spells at Goodison Park, regretting the circumstances which prompted him to quit in between, while he also lifts the lid on some of the great characters he played alongside, such as Paul Gascoigne and Wayne Rooney, as well as offering a candid take on David Moyes' evolving managerial methods.

    Tony Cottee Special: Highs, Lows & Fond Memories | Goodison Park: My Home

    Tony Cottee, the striker who joined Everton for a then British record fee of £2.2million in 1988, netting 99 goals in 241 games for the Blues, is the latest guest on Goodison Park: My Home. Snapped up from his boyhood club West Ham United when many had expected him to cross the capital and join Arsenal instead, the Londoner – now aged 59 – talks affectionately but candidly about the ups and downs of his six-year spell on Merseyside. Cottee made a dream start to his Everton career, hitting the mark after just 34 seconds against Newcastle United and going on to complete the first of his half dozen hat-tricks for the club against the Magpies, the highest total from a Blues player since Dixie Dean, who registered a super-human 37, some 30 ahead of nearest challenger Bobby Parker on seven. Despite finishing top scorer in five of his six full seasons at Goodison Park, the diminutive frontman did not always see eye to eye with his managers and lifts the lid on how a difficult spell under Howard Kendall led to him facing an unlikely opponent while turning out for the club's third team! However, for all his travails, Cottee, who host Chris Beesley reveals netted the first Everton goal he ever saw, retains a passionate affection for the Blues and looks back on his time at the club with great fondness.
