James Tarkowski and Dwight McNeil were the special guests as Evertonians came together for a special fans’ brunch event in Sydney on Friday.
As part of a range of supporter-led events to celebrate the Blues’ trip Down Under, the two summer signings from Burnley met fans from Everton Supporters’ Club Australia (ESCA) and travelling Toffees before answering questions on stage at Cheers Sports Bar & Grill on a wide range of topics including the club’s ‘incredible’ and passionate fanbase, hopes for returning to winning ways when the Premier League resumes after the World Cup, and their time in Australia so far.
There was also a chance for Blues to hear from title-winners Gary Stevens – who now lives in Australia – and Ian Snodin as the former Goodison Park teammates shared memories of playing in Howard Kendall’s successful 1980s side. Everton take part in the Sydney Super Cup during their tour Down Under, facing Scottish champions Celtic at Accor Stadium on Sunday, kick-off 2.45pm, (3.45am UK time), before playing Western Sydney Wanderers on Wednesday at CommBank Stadium, kick-off 7.45pm (8.45am UK time).
