Evertonians who know Liverpool well, will be aware of the longstanding historical links between the city and China. They may be less knowledgeable about the numerous players who have worn royal blue, but who also played in China at some point in their career, and how far the links go back in time.

This introduction sets the scene and focusses on two players who represented Everton during World War Two.
