Gavin Buckland discusses his new book The End with ECHO Everton reporter Chris Beesley in a special edition of the Royal Blue podcast. Everton’s official statistician Gavin is a regular guest on the podcast and having already penned Money Can’t Buy Us Love: Everton in the 1960s and Boys From The Blue Stuff, which charts the rise of the club’s most successful side in the 1984/85 season, the third instalment covers the period from 1985 to 1994 as the Blues slip from being the best team in the land and primed for more European glory to hanging on to their Premier League status by a thread.
In between, there is the post-Heysel ban, missing out on the double to Liverpool, Everton’s last title success in 1986/87, Howard Kendall’s exit to Spain, Colin Harvey’s elevation to manager, Kendall’s subsequent return and the painful experiment with Mike Walker that almost cost the Blues their place in the top flight, all set against the backdrop of a takeover saga following the death of Goodison grandee, Sir John Moores.
‘The End’, a book by Gavin Buckland is out now.
