Tribute at Goodison on Saturday.

Sad news from Norway that another well known past ESCLA member, Siggy Oie, died February 9th.

Siggy travelled with ESCLA in the 1980’s and 1990’s and was still getting to Goodison regularly with the Norwegian Everton Supporters Club right up to the pandemic. He was a well known sports journalist in Norway and great ambassador of the Everton cause. On behalf of ESCLA I would like to send deepest sympathy and condolences to his wife Marianne and the family for their sad loss.

Ann, John Collings, Siggy, Pete Leach c.1986
I think this was probably at the Midland Hotel, Liverpool c.1980

Sad news reaches us that one of our original ESCLA members, Paddy McGrath has died.
Paddy had many friends in the Everton community nationwide but ESCLA’s regular travellers from the 1970’s and 80’s will have many fond and interesting memories of him. On behalf of ESCLA I would like to send deepest sympathy and condolences to Paddy’s family for their sad loss.

Nick Brennan has sent me a couple of links Paddy’s friends will like to visit –
