I don’t know know if this is any good but my friend told a story about working with a scouser who used to play for Everton he told me he played for Liverpool? But Peter played for south Liverpool but the funny part was that his dad was a life long Liverpool man and when he signed for Everton never spoke to him again and banished him from the house he had to sneak back to see his mum his pictures were not on display anymore this was told to me by my mate as i was trying to explain English football culture in my local aussie pub they do not understand but then my days started in 70s with Chelsea so if it’s him he’s living in Australia around Newcastle nsw and was working with my mate who is a concreter i don’t know if this is of any interest to anyone but good luck in the new stadium i hope you don’t lose touch with the people who made Everton i enjoyed going to goodison proper footballing people respect over land and sea and Leicester
