New Everton Book – Making The Grade

Stan Osbourne's beautifully written new Everton book, Making the Grade, is in the early stages of production, with a view to publish in October 2012. Stan, a life-long Everton supporter, was also an apprentice footballer at Goodison Park during the late 60s and early 70s and his amazingly detailed memories give us a fly-on-the-wall look back at the club during a very special time for Everton.

As well as his relationships with the senior pros, fellow budding footballers and the management, Making The Grade offers a brilliantly well-observed, and extremely funny, view of the club, and the city of Liverpool and Kirby, as they once were.

This book has a real heart and soul and the reviews from those lucky enough to have had a sneak preview demonstrates what a gem it will be.
