“Obviously the board couldn’t go to the games in the last few months of the season, and that is not nice. But the fans are the blood of the club, and they support the club the way they want to support the club...I think Everton fans have been absolutely magnificent. I only went to a couple of games last year, but the last season I was there, they were unbelievable and pulled the players over the line, and I’m sure they did this year as well. It is not nice to see the lads protesting and marching up and down, but it is absolutely their right as it is their club,” says Big Dunc. [Echo]
