Behind every successful man is a good woman, & in that respect football is no different than any other walk of life. Every player who pulled on the royal blue of Everton Football Club was somebody's hero &, in the heat of battle, it's hard to imagine them as anything other than just that. But when the final whistle blew & the fans dispersed to discuss the merits of the match, the players threw their kits into the laundry room & went home to resume their roles of husb&, provider & father. Real Footballers' Wives provides a unique insight into the lives of our heroes from the women who loved them. The wives were the cornerstones of their success both on & off the pitch. Steadfast & loyal, their unsung contribution is woven into the history of this great club, but until now their stories remained untold. Each chapter is poignant & compelling, telling of the loneliness, ecstasy, pride, laughter & agony they encountered, spanning four decades from the halcyon days of the Championship-winning teams of the early '60s. These magnificent women, who made many personal sacrifices for their husbands' glory, tell their personal, touching & unique recollections that would otherwise have been lost in the mists of time. ...
