It’s a big, big honour for me, and it's something I'll do my very best, not only on game days, but in general to remember how much it means for people who support this club. It will be my mindset to represent the Club in the best possible way."[/b][/p][p]“I can't wait to experience the atmosphere as an Everton player. [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/goodison-ian/pUo7RDzq/"]Goodison[/a] was amazing. I just remember the ground was shaking – literally shaking. Then we came to the new stadium last year and I was so surprised because you often see clubs lose that intimacy and atmosphere.[/p][p]But I was so overwhelmed by how good the atmosphere was as well. So I can see that the soul from Goodison has been brought to the new stadium.”[/p]
