Everton will always mean something to Adam Forshaw. The Liverpudlian may be an avowed Red, but the blue side of the city will always be where he started his football career.
It’s nearly 11 years since the 31-year-old left Goodison Park and he’s spent more than six of those at Elland Road. Forshaw has spent more time with Leeds than any other club in his senior career and yet his 84 appearances still can’t compete with the games he played at Brentford and Middlesbrough in far shorter spells.
It’s a comparison which sums up Forshaw’s time at Elland Road. The midfielder has been beset by injury problems and, once again, he’s facing a race against time to earn a contract extension.
