The 7th episode of Across The Park Extra sees ex head of media & communications at Everton FC, Alan Myers, join us for an in depth chat about his two periods at the blues (1996-2001 & 2013-2014). Alan gives us the behind the scenes details and stories from all the goings on at the club during his time there. The stories include the details behind the crazy evening when Duncan Ferguson was sold in 1998, Alex Nyarko’s reaction to the infamous pitch invader at Arsenal, what really happened when Nick Barmby made the move ‘across the park’ & the madness and emotion from inside the club for THAT Coventry game in 1998. Alan also gives us stories from his time at Sky Sports. This includes the time he interviewed the then under pressure Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks in an attempt to smooth relations with the Liverpool faithful. He also discusses how he went from head of communications at Everton, to become a director at Blackburn Rovers under the Venky’s within a matter of months. We hung on Alan’s every word as he discussed everything asked in detail, and held back tears of laughter at his stories of Paul Gascoigne’s time at Everton. This is a must listen for all Evertonians!
