Dad used to reminisce about the good old days when Everton won the old first division championship and the FA Cup back in the 1970s and 80s but they weren't quite so good when I started supporting them.
Adam Lallana
I'd always like to score at Goodison Park, being an Everton fan growing up. Anfield as well would be a nice place to score.
Everton always seemed to be fighting relegation when I was supporting them.
I always had that youngster tag at Arsenal, so hopefully with this move I am able to make a name for myself in the Premier League and create history with Everton.
Alex Iwobi
The Everton goal was very important. It was the one that got us through, and it was great to go into the crowd and celebrate with the fans.
Anthony Martial
If Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I'd draw the curtains.
Bill Shankly
I like Everton. If I'm going to cheer for that kind of football team, I'm going to cheer for Everton. But the Seahawks are my passion.
Daniel Bryan
I'm desperately ambitious, and one of the things I haven't been able to do at Everton is win a trophy.
David Moyes
I got Everton competing at the top end of the league with a midtable budget.
I would never have left Everton if it hadn't been Manchester United.
I've got huge affection for Everton. It was my life for over a decade.
Maybe it's old-fashioned, but I've always preferred to see players with my own eyes than on a video or going on somebody else's recommendation. If that means getting up early and taking a flight, then so be it. Our success at Everton came from having a great recruitment team who I made sure were out watching the players.
At Everton, we have always tried to do good deals and have always tried to buy at the right age and the right price.
I hope I can fulfill all my ambitions at Everton. But you never know in this game.
I gave everything I could in trying to make Everton the best I could.
I had a great time at Everton when I was there and came away from that with a lot of high regard.
I would never have left Everton for anybody but an ambitious football club. And I thought Manchester United would have given me that opportunity.
I was a young manager at Everton and had 11 great years there.
I worked hard at Everton.
The job at Everton was so good. I worked for a great chairman, great people at the club.
We had a really good club at Everton who gave me the opportunity to do the job the way I felt it needed to be done.
I'd been at Everton for more than 11 years. We'd qualified for the Champions League, got to an FA Cup final. I'd been voted manager of the season three times.
It was too short: I've said many times that I would have done things differently had I known I'd only have 10 months because United are one of the few clubs in football who could have given a manager more time, like Bill Kenwright did with me at Everton.
It took time at Everton to build a team so that when we did go to United or Arsenal or Liverpool, we went with a good chance of getting a result.
When I took over at Everton, the challenge for us was to try to go toe-to-toe with a club having success in Europe and sometimes competing for the Premier League.
I was very fortunate that I had a great scouting staff at Everton from the academy, because it was those people who got the likes of Ross Barkley and Wayne Rooney when they were young.
WE used to tour quite a lot during the summer with Everton in my day.
I had become a bit spoiled or complacent at Sporting and I needed a kick up the backside, which is what Everton gave me. It was quite tough going to an unfamiliar place where I didn't know anyone at first.
Every time I have played against Everton, whether it was home or away, straight away the first thing that comes to mind when you see the fans is passion.
The Everton fans seem to know football, seem to understand it, it seems to be in their blood and they really back the team.
Everton Football Club is more important than the individual.
Everton fans don't just come to watch the football. They are there for Everton, the club. They really believe in the history of the club.
Both Everton and City have fantastic sets of fans who really get behind the players.
I knew my first game at Everton wasn't going to be a stroll around the pitch.
We never seem to make things easy for ourselves at Everton, and at City, it was the same, having to come from behind to get ahead in the big games.
I have had four great years at Everton. The fans have been brilliant with me from the day I signed until the day I left. I am proud that the club will always be a big part of my career.
I was 32 when I signed for Everton, and Roberto Martinez said, 'With your style of game, you can play until you're 40.' I'm sitting there laughing at him, but he was deadly serious. I still laughed.
The main reason I have joined Everton is not to try to help my England ambitions - that will come if I am playing consistently well for Everton.
I am happy at Everton, but the only team I want to play for is Barcelona.
When family and friends go to Everton, they tell me that there's a moment when I get the ball, and fans get to their feet in anticipation. There's so much at stake that people live under permanent pressure.
I worked hard at Everton. I learned many things, and I was lucky enough to achieve my goal of returning home.
I'm happy here at Everton. When I decided to come here, I came thinking only in my club, which is Everton, and nothing else. What has to happen next will happen next. I feel comfortable here. I do not know whether my game is more suited to the Premier league or La Liga, but I am very well here.
I always followed Everton. If the team were playing on television, I would watch the game. If not, then I would look to check the results. I always wanted to see how they were doing.
I'm not sure about Richarlison. I like him, I liked him when he was at Watford and he started well at Everton but would his preferred position be out on the left and cutting in? I'm not sure.
I think you find Liverpool fans are extremely passionate, as are Evertonians, but I think it goes to another level in Glasgow.
When I think about a mid-table club like Everton spending £150 million during the summer, I am lost for words.
I got scouted at six by Everton. My parents said it was maybe a bit too young. A year later, I went down to trials at Everton and have been there ever since.
To be honest, from England Under-16s, through the 17s and 18s, really all the way through my youth career, I played at centre-half. For some reason, when I made my debut at Everton, I just played in central midfield, and it went from there.
I have been playing box-to-box more for Everton as a two, so I have felt comfortable in that position, but anywhere across the midfield I can play.
There's been a lot come through at Everton: Wayne Rooney, obviously, and lately, Victor Anichebe has made it, James Vaughan, and the likes of myself.
