The latest guest in our Bred A Blue podcast series is former central defender, Neil Moore. Moore is a lifelong Evertonian who lived the dream… just! He played six senior games for his beloved Blues under Howard Kendall and Mike Walker before accepting that the level of competition was always going to be just too much. “I had Dave Watson, Kevin Ratcliffe, Martin Keown, David Unsworth, Gary Ablett all ahead of me,” he recalls. After progressing through the ranks, Moore made his debut at Goodison Park in October 1992. Everton defeated Rotherham United 3-0 with Moore replacing Barry Horne in the 87th minute. “Howard sent me on up front and all I did was run around for three minutes without touching the ball,” he says. “I got slaughtered for that in the dressing room afterwards!” Two of his subsequent Premier League appearances for Everton were against Manchester United and Arsenal, so Moore found himself competing against the likes of Paul Merson, Kevin Campbell, Eric Cantona and Mark Hughes. He also played 45 minutes as an emergency striker again alongside Peter Beardsley at Goodison against Sheffield United! Like every player who worked with Howard Kendall, Moore was immensely fond of him, describing him as a ‘fantastic character and a brilliant man' but he admits that he got more of a sniff when Mike Walker came in. “It's all about opinions and about trust, and Mike trusted me,” he says, “which was fantastic from my point of view.” Eventually though, Moore realised that his future lay beyond Goodison Park, ‘Joe Royle just didn't fancy me which was fair enough because that's football' and, ironically, it was Walker who offered him a way out – taking him to Norwich City. However, a friendly fixture at Carrow Road while he was still technically on loan, ruined his chances of a lengthy career in Norfolk. Norwich were playing West Ham but the referee called it off because the stadium was shrouded in thick fog. “You couldn't see the half-way line,” says Moore. That's when it got bizarre! The referee refused to take the game, so an appeal went out and a qualified official happened to be in the crowd. He duly officiated the game, in ridiculous conditions, and Moore suffered the most horrendous bad luck. “I broke two vertebrae in my spine so the chance of playing in the Championship was basically over before it had begun.” As enthusiastic an Evertonian as you could ever wish to meet, Neil Moore went on to have a long-playing career at lower league and non-league level and his love for the Blues has never wavered. He recalls his days of cleaning Neville Southall's boots (after first knocking on the men's dressing room door to be allowed in), buying chocolate bars with the coins intended to wash the kit in the laundrette, being coached by Mike Lyons and Jimmy Gabriel, and much, much more!

The latest Official Everton Podcast episode is all about Kevin Campbell. The former Blues striker passed away in June at the tragically young age of 54 and the podcast looks back at the influence he had at Everton Football Club. Darren Griffiths is joined by Dave Prentice and Gavin Buckland, with audio contributions from Kevin's former Arsenal team-mate Alan Smith and his striking partner at Everton, Francis Jeffers. We also hear snippets from Kevin himself as he recalls the circumstances in which he joined Everton, THAT goal against Liverpool and the first-time he encountered a schoolboy Wayne Rooney. He also speaks about the night Arsenal won the First Division title at Anfield and then bumped into some celebrating Evertonians after the game! We look back at the career of a man who cemented his legendary status at Goodison within weeks of joining the football club and assess the attributes that took him to the top. For example, he was a prolific goalscorer as a youth, but he developed his game so well that he became the perfect foil for every conceivable type of fellow centre-forward – as his partnerships with Smith, Ian Wright, Paul Merson, Francis Jeffers, Nick Barmby and Rooney would confirm. Campbell is the Premier League's leading English goalscorer never to have been capped, he scored 51 goals for Everton, and he captained the club, but as this podcast discusses, bare statistics only tell part of the Kevin Campbell story.

Roy Keane, Paul Merson and Gary Neville join Kelly Cates to look back on Manchester United's 2-1 win at Aston Villa, a win that keeps alive United's hopes of reaching the top four and Champions League qualification. Hear from match winner Scott McTominay, as well as his United teammate Harry Maguire and manager Erik ten Hag, whilst Villa's John McGinn describes the loss as a "sucker punch". We also reflect on Arsenal's 6-0 demolition of West Ham at the London Stadium, as they move back to within two points of leaders Liverpool.

If you had to pick your Top 5 Premier League foreign imports, who would make your list? That's the question Jeff Stelling asks former Arsenal, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and Portsmouth favourite Paul Merson in this week's episode of Football's Greatest. Which Champions League winner did Merse originally think was a waste of money? Who was so good that they looked like an adult playing against children? And which legend on his list is he grateful to for getting him off the front pages of the newspapers? Bergkamp, Ronaldo, Salah and De Bruyne are just some of the names that crop up, but do they make the final five? Football's Greatest is a Folding Pocket production with BBC Studios.

Jeff Stelling is joined by his good pal Paul Merson to chat about football's greatest mavericks. Merse will know a thing or two about that having been a mercurial talent himself for Arsenal, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa, Portsmouth and England. Which of these legends did he think was better in their prime: Ian Wright or Alan Shearer? Which Arsenal legend would go looking for the opposition in the players' lounge after Premier League matches? Who would nobody go near in England training because they were just too good? They also discuss Harry Redknapp's unusual tactics to get Merse to join Portsmouth, why a night out caused him to receive the biggest rollicking of his career and whether a player from the Championship will make an England World Cup squad ever again like he did in 1998.

Paul Merson is one of the most popular soccer pundits in the UK. And his voice and childlike enthusiasm serves as nice commentary to go with some of the biggest moments of recent English football. He is a legend at mighty Arsenal as his runs down the right and crosses in were a mainstay of that era. He has his fair share of trophies - and he played in and won a game that in my view – is the most important in Premier League history – where it entered a new strata of popularity.But Paul is also in recovery – from alcohol, drugs and what he says is the worse one by far – gambling. When we booked Paul – he required a fee for his time – not an unusual thing for us. But what was unusual is it was made very clear to us on several occasions that we were never under any circumstances to give money directly to Paul. Directly to his wife was the firm instruction. Paul's phone is disabled from adding apps so as not to allow for any gambling. The reason for this worry had to do with a gambling relapse Paul had recently suffered – He had worked hard with Sky and BBC - and saved up for 18 months for a down payment on a new home with his wife – 160,000 pounds was now sitting in savings. Covid had made him antsy though and as he put it - the monster awoke in him. Within half a day – one 4 hour session - he had lost it all - on various sports - mostly table tennis – of which he knew nothing, but was one of the few sports that he could find during the lockdown - but he had to bet on something. It was for him – rock bottom. He contemplated two choices. Tell his wife – or commit suicide. And for 2 weeks he wasn't sure. Hard to believe walking around for 2 weeks with that operating on your mind. But in the end, and as he spent time with his children, luckily the answer was to come clean and tell his wife. And luckily, she stood by him - sought help from the right people, and things seem to be ok. I think of that as being a heroic moment for Paul – and he allows for some pride to come out as he recalls the decision – which was cool to see. Paul was a year clear of this when we sat with him in Twickenham in West London – and he seemed well. We spoke about his tremendous Arsenal career, his national team experience with the Three Lions – and of course his demons off the pitch. As he put it – all we have is one day at a time. Thanks for listening!

Harry Maguire is in the headlines once again, though this time he has spoken out about his recent lack of playing time at Manchester United. Despite being linked with a move away to West Ham, the defender has now issued a warning to his club insisting he will not wait forever on the bench. We also debate what the game would look like if Paul Merson and Glenn Hoddle were making the calls inside the VAR room alongside Mike Dean… not pretty. So, should ex-professional football players have a say in how the law is interpreted, or even have a hand in the decisions on the pitch? And finally, a big thanks to everyone in our Telegram group who have given the boys a set of tough questions to go through!

"Merson won two league titles and three cups with Arsenal, while playing some visionary football which he produced again for Aston Villa. He won 21 caps for England, played in the 1998 World Cup and, now, at the age of 53, he is a much-loved, or often cruelly mocked, member of Sky Sports' Saturday Soccer panel alongside his close friend Jeff Stelling. Merson said, “People talk about being brave on the football pitch. Being brave and clever for me is getting the ball and putting your head up and trying to open up the game. Glenn Hoddle always said: ‘See the picture'. Some players have all the skill in the world, but they can't see that picture. I could. I'm not saying it happened all the time. I had some shocking games. But I was so much better in football than life.” Original Piece by Donald McRae: Paul Merson: ‘Gambling is a horrible addiction. Your career passes you by'
