England rugby legend Matt Dawson admits he's Everton mad.
The world champion is a card carrying blue, who idolises Graeme Sharp and devotes more than his fair share of sporting memories to Everton's triumphs over his 38 years.
He told the Liverpool Echo: "I have fond memories of running around there with my grandparents trying to dress me in a Liverpool kit but I'd get upset because I only wanted to wear an Everton top.
"My family are a typical Mersey mix of reds and blues , and my dad is Tranmere Rovers but it's always been the Toffees for me. I think it started simply because I preferred the colour blue but it developed into an obsession.
"I was lucky because I was born in '72 and when I was really getting into football was the mid-80s so there was plenty of success and great times to keep me interested."
