Bred A Blue: Episode 35. Tony Grant

The latest Bred a Blue podcast is with Tony Grant. Grant came through the Everton ranks to make 79 Senior-Team appearances and speaks frankly and openly about his time with the Club. For example, the night he made his debut away at Newcastle United, when Barry Horne and Earl Barrett were both sent off and how only his second start in the side was at Wembley! He also recalls the time he was offered a new contract only to find out that the manager had been sacked when he turned up at Bellefield to put pen to paper! Grant also discusses his frustration at various managers signing players to play in his position and he reminisces about the only period in his Everton career when he actually felt like a regular. He reveals what he’d “do differently if I had my time again” and rates the best players he played with at Everton. The podcast also covers his coaching experiences as assistant to Robbie Fowler in India, Australia and Saudi Arabia. Tony Grant was a gifted footballer, always good to watch. He’s good to listen to as well!
