As an American who follows the English Premier League, I’m often asked, why Everton?
My response is simple. How much time do you have?
I’m only partly joking when I say this – I’d gladly run through my list of reasons for becoming an Evertonian. But I don’t because I know my friends and family are only looking for a simple answer, not one that begins with well, the club’s history and culture…
On the off chance, though, that someone out there really does want to know why Everton – this blog is just for you. Toffee Bits is a series of short reflections on my journey as an Evertonian. In the words of legendary midfielder, Alan Ball: Once Everton touches you, nothing is ever the same again. This adage rang true for me and I guarantee it will ring true for you, too.
Soon you’ll be asking, why not Everton?
