Star-studded line-up for latest fan event.  Seamus Coleman, Luke Garbutt and Ryan Ledson led a stellar cast of Everton figures who met over 100 diehard Evertonians at a special ‘Fabric of Everton’ evening on Tuesday. Ahead of the 2014/15 away kit launch this Thursday, Goodison Park held the event to showcase the Club’s history with kit partner Umbro – calling on the support of a number of guests who starred in the recent 'Fabric' campaign video. Last term's Player of the Season Coleman was the first guest welcomed on stage as he took part in a Q&A session with host Darren Griffiths to preview the new season and talk about the new black away kit. He was followed by the Blues’ popular kit-man Jimmy Martin and 1995 FA Cup winner Graham Stuart as they shared tales from their Everton careers and looked back at Umbro kits gone by. Youngster Garbutt and Academy scholar Ledson were then the next pair on stage and discussed their time at the Club so far before revealing their hopes for the season ahead.  Garbutt and Ledson Goodison painter and decorator John Manville and Everton in the Community’s Steve Johnson, two more stars of the 'Fabric' video also appeared on stage, before the Club’s leading post-war goalscorer Graeme Sharp closed the event. As well as discussing his thoughts on the coming campaign, Sharp also helped to draw the raffle for a signed away shirt, from which all proceeds went to the Blues’ official charity, Everton in the Community. A free game of 'Fabric Bingo' also took place throughout the evening with a second signed away shirt going to the lucky winner. As the latest in a string of events to reward fan loyalty, Season Ticket holders of 10 seasons or more who attended every single away match in the 2013/14 season were invited to attend Tuesday's event. Everton's new 2014/15 away kit is available to pre-order now and goes on sale on Thursday 14 August. It is available for men, women, juniors, infants and babies.  |
