The Book

David France, author of Toffee Cards - The Tobacco Years and Toffee Pages - The Post-War Years, had the idea to set up an Everton hall of fame which would include those Everton players or officials who have given the club
outstanding service during its history.  A panel of former players, journalists, shareholders, season-ticket holders and other Everton enthusiasts appraised the merits of the 700-plus players who have represented the club since the pioneering days of St.Domingo F.C.  They assessed the accomplishments, abilities, popularity and club service of each player and selected 80 Hall of Fame members.  Obviously, much argument has been generated since publication about who has been included and who has been omitted, but new members will be added annually.

I got an entry!

For the second edition we talked about a infamy list and after asking Everton fans on the internet (toffeenet/Bluenose) to help out, this list (above right) went into the second edition.
A few class acts there, I'm sure you will agree.  I also had the honour of the final word in the book:

Example pages:
