Paul McParlan – in Conversation with Rob Sawyer
The Forgotten Champions is an enthralling account of how Everton overcame a devastating catalogue of injuries and the sale of their star striker to reclaim the league title from Liverpool in 1987. Manager Howard Kendall used all his tactical acumen to produce a side that was far greater than the sum of its parts, to bring the title back to Goodison.
Paul McParlan, of Everton FC Heritage Society, is a member of the Football Writers’ Association and a senior writer for These Football Times. His articles have appeared on The Athletic website and he has written features for When Saturday Comes and The Football Pink magazines, in addition to writing book reviews for both. He is a regular contributor to The Blue Room on Radio City, and has appeared on talkSPORT and Love Sport Radio. He has been an Everton fan since the early 1960s.
Paul took time out from his busy writing and media schedule to talk to Rob Sawyer of EFCHS about his book and just why that amazing squad of 1986-87 seems to have been forgotten.
