The Everton in the Community Down Syndrome team headed to Finch Farm to meet Jack Grealish & the rest of the squad, and show them their moves! 💙
Gary Speed, fine player and even finer human being, passed away 14 years ago today. On Saturday, Everton unveil the Gary Speed Memorial Bench at Hill Dickinson Stadium before the game with Newcastle United, who he also represented with such distinction. The bench bears the message: “IN MEMORY OF GARY SPEED, EVERTONIAN, CAPTAIN, LEADER 1969–2011. A place for what is often unspoken. A place to sit, share and listen.”
The “talking bench” is one of a series introduced across the UK. In the words of @Everton, it’s “a simple but powerful way to encourage conversation, tackle loneliness and isolation, and signpost people to mental health support”. Via a QR code to programmes delivered by Everton In The Community.
“As part of the Club’s commitment to the Premier League’s ‘Together Against Suicide’ pilot, trained @EITC staff will be based in the area around the bench before every home fixture. Supporters who wish to talk, seek support, or learn more about the services available will be able to approach staff confidentially and without appointment”.
The bench, which has the full blessing of Speed’s family, was proposed by @EFC_FansForum as “a meaningful and positive legacy in Gary’s name”. Everton add that it's "a permanent space for reflection, conversation and connection - and a reminder that no Evertonian ever has to struggle alone". #EFC
At some point Moyes needs to bite the bullet and start Ndaiye up top, I know he wants a big fella up there but we can’t keep going through games were our strikers keep missing stonewall sitters and having trampolines for feet. Ndaiye will put chances away and run the channels.
Take Salah out and our attack is flowing. Fully aware this Frankfurt team can't defend anyway, but a great (and timely) call from Slot to leave him out given his performances this season thus far
