THE latest issue of the Evertonian pays its own birthday tribute to the boy-wonder Wayne Rooney who reaches the grand old age of 18 on October 24.
We look at twenty of those moments that have made the Rooney name known across the globe ; from the day he put pen to paper for the Blues, his impact during the Youth Cup run of 2002/03, his Premiership debut and the unforgettable first goal against Arsenal to his England debut against Australia and the goal against Macedonia that made him his country's youngest ever goalscorer.
There's also an opportunity to win an England shirt signed by Wayne as well as a superb poster of the Croxteth Crackerjack.
Steve Watson gives us an insight into his goal-scoring start to the season, how he is enjoying his wide role in midfield and his hopes for the future as he approaches his 30th birthday.
A legendary (of sorts!) name from yesterday that will strike a chord with most Blues of a certain age is Bernie 'The Bolt' Wright and sets the record straight about the many anecdotes that arose from his brief yet eventful spell at Goodison.
Peter Clarke's sterling performance for the England Under 21s at Goodison last month brought him back into the spotlight. He explains how he hopes his solid form at international level can soon be transferred to the club stage.
Kev Campbell talks us through his musical pleasures, our 'Magnificent Seven' series continues with Alan Ainscow and Mick Walsh, Blues boss David Moyes explains his ideas on the thorny topic of 'motivation', the day Peter Reid signed for Everton is recalled and Chief Executive Michael Dunford looks at the 'groundshare' debate that has been such a hot topic of late.
This and all your usual favourites are in this month's Evertonian - OUT NOW in all good newsagents.
