Craig Bellamy has detailed how close he came to signing for Everton until a bizarre encounter with David Moyes brought a halt to the deal.
The Liverpool fan and former player has revealed he was convinced he was joining their rivals and even agreed terms, before having his hopes dashed in a second meeting with the then Everton boss.
Bellamy, now Vincent Kompany's assistant at Burnley, has opened up on the failed move while appearing on The Central Club podcast, and revealed how Moyes’ approach and attitude towards him in the second meeting the pair had led to him receiving an apology from the Scot a few months later.
