Johan Cruyff - Everton Fan

I'm currently reading a book called Ajax Barcelona Cruyff, It's as close as you can get to an official autobiography of the great Johan Cruyff, as it's the only book to be authorised by the maestro himself.

Johan Cruyff

"so you tell them to do something they can't do, something they haven't been taught. A team like Everton has an ideal system for two strikers. Everton has the players for it."

It's nice to know we were so well regarded by a master technician and tactician.

There are lots of other insights into the higher levels of thought about the game during those days, and it's easy to relate to how good our side was in those days. Cruyff talks about defending space (see the Ratters interviews), the third man i.e. a second player always available for a pass. I can remember the tight triangles that our team would play all over the pitch. we would try to get the ball out of danger areas (with skill), and turn it quickly into attack. He also talks about panicking defences, Sharp, Gray and Reid say no more.

I'm only half way through, but I would recommend this book to any footy fans who, like me, admired the man and try to understand the intricate workings of the beautiful game. When I've finished the book, I would lend it to you, but my mate Walter (Smith) has asked for it! Great site lads, I'm always delving in for the latest new and views. Ducky Blue Nose, London.

Hello from South Africa from an Evertonian Russian

The Cod Pieces section inspired me to send You several pics taken last summer in Everton village, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. The pictures even include an Everton map with a "Warning" sign. Where a man appears know it is me, one of few Russian Evertonians.

EXCLUSIVE - Everton's New Signing

Everton have cut short Brian McBride's loan period, & signed Jordan on instead. Blue Bill brokered the deal while in Stringfellows in London. Bill checked her out, liked what he saw, & Bob's yer Uncle. Jordan goes straight into the squad for the Charlton game. The only problem Moyesy has is sorting out, who will share a room with her. All the first team squad has volunteered for the job. (08/02/03)
