Many of the traders had come across from there there there were people crouching around radios dotted around the market. Or when my Australian friend Adam celebrated Tim Cahill’s goal against Japan, I was happy for him, because I like to see emerging nations do well in global sport, but also because I knew he has a connection with millions of people also cheering even though it was on the other side of the world where it was the middle of the night. Also, Tim Cahill plays for Everton, which I support and my dad supports and that’s where are family are from, and you can read more about that attachment if you like and what it means to be a fan.

This was because his stepfather, who he loathed, supported Everton. Now I am lumbered with supporting Liverpool as well, unlike everyone else in my family on that side. Some things cannot be fought.

This time. Everton are the team that play in Liverpool. There is another team that play there, called Liverpool, but they are not me. I’ll let that one go Sooz. This time.

This father/son/tradition thing. How special! Never ever forget those moments (of course you won't.) And silly little me thought that you supported Liverpool and your father supported Everton - I was crap at geography and it's continued to baffle me ever since. (I'm ok if I turn the map the way I'm going... ish!) It’s lovely! This father/son/tradition thing. How special! Never ever forget those moments (of course you won’t.)

You have a great weekend, a great time, and tells us the Spice Girl Story when you get back. Your dad has me convinced it's time for me to move to Villefranche. Wonder what I'll do for a living there? OR if they'll even let me into the country? I can dig it. You have a great weekend, a great time, and tells us the Spice Girl Story when you get back.

My grandad was the son, my dad the son, me and now my son have continued the tradition. I just hope the prawn sandwich brigade don't get to take even more of the seats to block this right to passage. Even to a non fan there is something about Everton, vociferous even in adversity You have encapsulated the modern father son bonding ritual.
