Life-long Everton fans who celebrated a "very special proposal" are hoping their dreams will come true of tying the knot at Bramley-Moore Dock.
John Marchbank, 46, recently proposed to his partner of five-years Kelly Walker with the help of EFC star Duncan Ferguson. On September 30 at an "Evening with Duncan Ferguson" event at the Devonshire Hotel, John decided to take the plunge and get down on one knee, with the help of Duncan himself.
John told the ECHO: "It's been a running joke for a while that Kelly says she loves Duncan Ferguson more than me so I got his help to propose. He'd just been on stage and then we went into a private room with him and I said Duncan no longer wanted to be the third wheel.
