In our first Goodison Park: My Home interview published in 2025 – the year Everton finally depart the Grand Old Lady – we speak to the Blues’ favourite Yorkshireman Ian Snodin. 

Despite hailing from the other side of the Pennines, ‘Snods’ as he is affectionately known by Evertonians, became a True Blue and adored by the Goodison fanbase when snubbed Liverpool’s Kenny Dalglish to accept Howard Kendall’s offer to join the club in 1987.

Ian’s decision was vindicated as he was rewarded with a League Championship medal in his first season on Merseyside and his hilarious tale about what happened to him on the way home from that title success clinched at Norwich City is worth watching the interview alone! 

He also speaks candidly about his upbringing in a mining community, his formative years in the game playing alongside his elder brother Glynn at Doncaster Rovers and the influence that Billy Bremner had on him both there and at Leeds United plus the varied role he now plays as an ambassador for Everton Football Club.
