The undercarriage of the Sydney Harbour Bridge echoed with the sound of the Goodison Gang as 150 Blues bounced on the waves beneath it.
They might have been unusual sights and sounds for the Parramatta River but for the tourists and locals mingling around the city’s iconic waterfront it could come as no surprise. The Circular Quay was awash with Blues.
Everton’s presence in Sydney extended beyond the harbour but it was at its most concentrated there. The shirts bore the sponsors NEC, Hafnia and Stake. Names on the back even extended to on-loan academy product Ellis Simms.
