    Everton has a lot of young players.  They are no threat to Man United or Chelsea or Arsenal.

    Subject: Why Everton ?

       Probably when I was just about to turn eleven or twelve in the fall of (and I'm guessing 1952) 1952 or 1953 was watching television.  It had to have been a Saturday or Sunday, and the Wide World of Sports program had a film clip of English football.  Picture this, the right winger making a break past a midfielder, and up the sideline.  The defender can't quite catch up to him, so he takes a strong grip on the back of the winger's jersey and just stops him cold.  It may have been a smart move.  No one was between the attacker and the goalkeeper, probably.  The wingman was Billy Bingham of Everton.  Now Billy whirled around, and out of frustration buries his fist in the defending player's solar plexes.  From the camera angle he appeared to have buried it all the way up to his elbow.  The defender did not get back up to his feet immediately, I can tell you.   I'm watching and thinking, what is this?  "I love this game"!  Somehow the name Billy Bingham had stuck with me all those years. 

        Billy Bingham was never listed as an Everton great (on the website).  He was just another roughneck, just another tough shanty Irishman from Liverpool with some talent.  To add to the story, last year a younger man from Liverpool comes to Chicago on some kind of business.  We are talking about England and the World Cup.  Somehow I mentioned Billy Bingham and this guy knows Billy.  They had coached a youth league team together in Liverpool.   So when he was leaving for his hotel he said he could barely believe an average American from Chicago knew of Billy Bingham.  He had to go back and tell his mates that story, he said.

        I watched some of the 1970 World Cup games in Mexico with my next door neighbors in Cardiff.  What impressed me, and led me to an interest in football was the game Romania - Brazil.  Here I discovered (in retrospect) that Pele was the Michael Jordan of the game.  His play was at a level beyond all the others.  Pele joined Santos of Brazil at age 15.

         What blew me away in the Romania game, and Romainia played dirty (Glasgow Rangers, Glasgow Rangers), was a pass from Carlos Alberto to Pele.  Alberto kicked it high and long while Pele made the break and was well in front of the other players when he got this pass.  He was not that close to the Romanian goal.  To myself I thought, "NFL pass to a wide receiver" right over Pele's shoulder (only he can't use his hands).  He is under the pass on almost a dead run at the goal and takes the ball on the soft spot of his stomach, or solar plexes, so it does not bounce away from him.  The ball takes only one bounce in front of him ( the rythym and timing were so perfect).  WHAMO he kicks it in from 20 or 25 yards away.  i never saw anything like that in football.  Brazil really deserved that World Cup, and of course England's team was well out of it.  They blamed the hot weather in Mexico but really must have been out of shape.  So, in the end, what I thought was Romanias' dirty play availed them nothing.

        Even though Everton is not a really good team, many top teams would not mind having Joseph Yobo on their starting sides.   

        Joseph joined the Blues, declining offers from Arsenal and Juventus, to become David Moyes' first signing in the summer of 2002.
