Royal Blue: The Everton FC Podcast

A sparkling first half display brought David Moyes his first win of a second spell as Everton manager but after failing to capitalise on their earlier dominance, the Blues were left clinging on in the dying seconds to hold on for what could be a crucial three points to triumph 3-2.

In our first Goodison Park: My Home interview published in 2025 – the year Everton finally depart the Grand Old Lady – we speak to the Blues’ favourite Yorkshireman Ian Snodin. Despite hailing from the other side of the Pennines, ‘Snods’ as he is affectionately known by Evertonians, became a True Blue and adored by the Goodison fanbase when snubbed Liverpool’s Kenny Dalglish to accept Howard Kendall’s offer to join the club in 1987. Ian’s decision was vindicated as he was rewarded with a League Championship medal in his first season on Merseyside and his hilarious tale about what happened to him on the way home from that title success clinched at Norwich City is worth watching the interview alone! He also speaks candidly about his upbringing in a mining community, his formative years in the game playing alongside his elder brother Glynn at Doncaster Rovers and the influence that Billy Bremner had on him both there and at Leeds United plus the varied role he now plays as an ambassador for Everton Football Club.

Revisit our exclusive interview with David Moyes as the former Everton manager is set to return to Goodison Park for a second stint in charge at the club. Back in September 2024, Chris Beesley spoke to an extra special guest for the ninth episode of our Goodison Park: My Home series as he was joined by David Moyes, the longest serving and most successful Everton manager of the Premier League era. Meeting in Lancashire, the pair discuss the Scot’s reign of over 11 years as Blues boss as he steered them to nine top half finishes – including a club record fourth position in the Premier League in 2004/05 – feats that brought him a hat-trick of LMA Manager of the Year awards. Taking over a team that had finished in the top half just once in the first decade of the competition, a then 38-year-old Moyes arrived at Goodison Park in March 2002 and transformed a squad containing luminaries such as Paul Gascoigne and David Ginola into an upwardly mobile outfit with hungry young players. The Scot lifts the lid on why he chose Everton; his coining of the phrase ‘The People’s Club’, transfer buys; big characters; trophy regrets following the FA Cup final and European run plus many other memorable moments at a unique football venue that he always tried to get the best out of and which remains dear to his heart. Now Moyes is set for a sensational return. It’s a must watch for all True Blues… Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here: https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

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.

A chorus of boos rang around Goodison Park following Everton’s 0-0 draw with Brentford at Goodison Park on Saturday evening. 10 men Brentford held on for a point but in reality, it was Thomas Frank’s side who could’ve and should’ve come away with all three points. Frank’s side having the better chances despite Everton having 27 attempts on goal. In today’s Live Royal Blue show, Ian Croll and Chris Beesley head into the studio to discuss the fallout from Saturday’s disappointing display and result.

Appropriately, Kevin Sheedy is guest number 11 on Goodison Park: My Home. The owner of the greatest left foot in Blues’ history joins the ECHO’s Everton reporter Chris Beesley to discuss his amazing football journey. Kevin reveals the unusual way in which he first learned his incredible technique as a youngster and how his arrival on Merseyside could have taken a very different path when he signed for Liverpool! However, after a frustrating spell at Anfield, he would make the bold move across Stanley Park and never looked back. One of the most-cultured performers in Howard Kendall’s side during the glory days, Kevin recalls playing a leading role in some of Everton’s greatest nights against the likes of Bayern Munich and sealing the European Cup-Winners’ Cup triumph against Rapid Vienna in Rotterdam. Other famous strikes in the conversation include his brace in the 5-0 rout against Manchester United; ‘saluting’ the Kop after a stunning free kick in a Merseyside Derby and, of course, his famous twice-taken free kick against Ipswich Town.

Everton came away from London with a share of the spoils on Saturday afternoon. Neither the Blues or West Ham could break the deadlock resulting in a 0-0 draw at the London Stadium.

In today’s show, Ian Croll, Chris Beesley and Gav Buckland analyse the performance and debate where that leaves Everton and Sean Dyche heading into the International break.

Everton are currently unbeaten in four and head into Saturday’s game with Marco Silva’s side on the back of a mini resurgence.

Following a first away win of the year for Sean Dyche's side as spectacular strikes from Iliman Ndiaye and Michael Keane secured a 2-0 victory at Ipswich Town, the ECHO's Everton correspondent Joe Thomas and Everton reporter Chris Beesley review the game at Portman Road with a special post match edition of the Royal Blue podcast while making the long drive back from Suffolk to Merseyside.

For Evertonians, there is cause for some hope and optimism at last. With new ownership and a new stadium on the horizon there is the sense that the tide is beginning to turn in the Toffees’ favour. It comes on the back of the news regarding 777 Partners, the investment firm that had come close to purchasing Everton, now fallen into bankruptcy. Just how much of a narrow escape was it for the Blues. In other news, Manchester City have seemingly won a battle in the longstanding war with the Premier League over FFP/PSR. A ruling over APT, Associated Party Transactions went in favour of the sky blue club. Ian Croll is joined by Chris Beesley for Friday’s Live Royal Blue Podcast as they discuss all of the above, plus plenty more. Including the vital run of fixtures following the international break.

Chris Beesley speaks to Anders Limpar, the man described by Everton’s last trophy-winning manager Joe Royle as “A football genius” and “the most-talented player I ever worked with,” in the latest episode of Goodison Park: My Home. Despite hailing from Solna, on the edge of Sweden’s capital city of Stockholm, Limpar, explains how he was actually a boyhood Blue with his affiliation with Everton going back much longer than his three-year playing stint with the club between 1994-97. The 59-year-old, who had already been a League Championship winner with Arsenal before he came to Merseyside, speaks poignantly about his friendship with the late Kevin Campbell and also recalls the scramble for his signature when his time at Highbury came to an end. Limpar speaks candidly about his part in ‘The Great Escape’ against Wimbledon, the change of manager from Mike Walker to Joe Royle, winning the FA Cup against Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United and his combination both on and off the field with fellow winger Andrei Kanchelskis who inadvertently helped him to learn Russian. It’s another generous portion of True Blue nostalgia with our 10th guest so far as we celebrate the final season of ‘The Grand Old Lady’ with one of her greatest mercurial talents.
