James Garner strides into a side room at Finch Farm, Everton’s training ground, full of smiles because he’s in the form of his life, doing what he loves, playing football.
“Even when I've got days off, I hate it,” Garner says. “I'd rather be here. I'd rather be kicking a football around. I wish I had a big back garden so I can put a pitch in. Unfortunately, I don't!”
Whether at right-back or central midfield, the versatile 24-year-old has become an important player for David Moyes, ranked at no.10 in FourFourTwo's list of the best Premier League managers ever, who has been talking Garner up for England recognition.
