Everton’s first-ever disabled mascot said the experience of walking out onto the pitch at Goodison will live with him for the rest of his life.
Andrew Forsyth, from Skelmersdale, recalled the “spine-tingling” moment he walked onto the pitch for the first time. The 35-year-old got to meet and shake hands with some of Everton’s biggest names at the time.
The magazine editor told the ECHO: “Being the first member of Everton Disabled Supporters Association to be a mascot meant a lot to me, and it's great to see that we've had several since. It was a memorable game too, the 4-4 draw against Leeds in October 1999. I remember the atmosphere being electric. Walking out in front of that crowd was spine-tingling, I really got a sense of what the players felt running out onto the hallowed turf.”
