Bred A Blue: Episode 14. Steve Seargeant

Our latest Bred A Blue podcast is with Steve Seargeant who joined the Everton youth ranks in 1966 and went on to play 90 games for the First Team. Steve, born and bred in Liverpool and a lifelong Evertonian, speaks about his experiences coming through the ranks, how he helped Alex Young with his blisters, getting advice from Alan Ball and how wingers would frequently go ‘over the top’ on full-backs! He also recalls Bernie Wright, injustices like Carlisle United and AC Milan, and the day he went for the throat of a Brazilian football legend in America! On leaving Everton, Steve signed for Detroit Express in the North American Soccer League, and apart from that fall-out with a 1970 World Cup winner, it was an experience he thoroughly enjoyed – playing against the likes of George Best, Johan Cruyff and Franz Beckenbauer.
