Tony Cottee, the striker who joined Everton for a then British record fee of £2.2million in 1988, netting 99 goals in 241 games for the Blues, is the latest guest on Goodison Park: My Home. Snapped up from his boyhood club West Ham United when many had expected him to cross the capital and join Arsenal instead, the Londoner – now aged 59 – talks affectionately but candidly about the ups and downs of his six-year spell on Merseyside. Cottee made a dream start to his Everton career, hitting the mark after just 34 seconds against Newcastle United and going on to complete the first of his half dozen hat-tricks for the club against the Magpies, the highest total from a Blues player since Dixie Dean, who registered a super-human 37, some 30 ahead of nearest challenger Bobby Parker on seven. Despite finishing top scorer in five of his six full seasons at Goodison Park, the diminutive frontman did not always see eye to eye with his managers and lifts the lid on how a difficult spell under Howard Kendall led to him facing an unlikely opponent while turning out for the club’s third team! However, for all his travails, Cottee, who host Chris Beesley reveals netted the first Everton goal he ever saw, retains a passionate affection for the Blues and looks back on his time at the club with great fondness.
