A new installment will be online at www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/efc and www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/efc each day up to the 25th[LNB] ON March 14 2002, David Moyes walked through the door at Goodison Park and helped breath new life into Everton FC.[LNB]On the back of an insipid FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Middlesbrough and with the Blues in a perilous Premier League position, Moyes lifted spirits around the club before a ball had even been kicked by declaring at his opening press conference, "I am from a city (Glasgow) that is not unlike Liverpool.[LNB]"I am joining the people's football club.[LNB]"The majority of people you meet on the street are Everton fans.[LNB]"It is a fantastic opportunity, something you dream about.[LNB]" I said 'yes' right away as it is such a big club."[LNB]With the fans' and players' spirits galvanised, Everton ripped into Fulham - sacrificial lambs to the Goodison slaughter for Moyes first game in charge two days later - with David Unsworth blasting an opening goal in the first minute and Moyes' new charges gutsily holding out for a precious three points despite playing with ten men for over an hour after Thomas Gravesen had been sent off.[LNB] See next page for a picture gallery and more on David Moyes >>>>>>
