We were also honoured with the presence of Everton FC legend Joe Parkinson who joined the team on their last night.

Following an interview with Jon Jessop, & with thanks to Ed Loftus (Manager of The Park Hotel, Birkdale) for supplying a number of questions, Joe then answered questions from the rest of the team and guests.
