Whether it’s covering pre-season tours or getting behind dressing room doors, few people know Everton Football Club like David Prentice.
As a trusted journalist for the Liverpool Echo since the 1980s he had daily visits to the training ground, interviewed players, enjoyed unrivalled access to the manager’s office & found out what was really happening on the blue half of Merseyside.
A long career following the fortunes of his beloved Blues has taken him to some strange places, including Peter Johnson’s yacht in Saint-Tropez, a disco in Italy with Mike Walker & on a boozy night in Dublin with the 1995 FA Cup winning team – a far cry from the days when he would support Everton from the stands & hope to one day wear the famous royal blue strip himself.
He was with the Blues every step of the way as they clinched that FA Cup & fought off relegation several times in the same decade – forging lasting friendships with Joe Royle & Walter Smith, who were guests at his wedding as he married legend Dixie Dean’s gr&-daughter.
He got the inside track on the controversial sale of Duncan Ferguson, was called as a witness in a court case between Wayne Rooney & David Moyes & even had to stand his ground when he was effectively put on trial in front of the entire Everton squad over an article he had written.
