Synopsis
Duncan Ferguson. David Moyes. Paul McCartney. A father and a son. A passion for Everton, and a passion for The Beatles. Blues & Beatles is a story of football and music across the generations, showing in touching and hilarious detail how a young boy inherited his father's obsessions - and would one day pass them on to his own son. A journalist like his father, Neil Roberts has special access to his beloved football club, so his heartfelt memoir includes glimpses within the inner sanctum of Goodison Park as well as every unforgettable Everton moment since the 1970s, all soundtracked by the Fab Four. Along the way, Neil meets his heroes - including musical as well as Everton icons - and reveals intriguing connections to Dixie Dean and a famous Victorian footballer. But above all else, Blues & Beatles is a story of football and music shared by father and son.

Newspapers & Magazines
"A heart-felt insight into the life of a man who loves his Fab Four almost, but not quite, as much as he loves his Everton." - Liverpool Echo; "The book is a fantastic read and covers every Everton 'moment' from the 70's to date carefully captured in detail mixed with the musical moments. Neil's roles as a journalist working for The Echo allowed him close access to all things Everton giving the reader a fascinating insight. This is a 'must read' for every Everton fan, you will be delighted as you share the trip down memory lane from the 70's to the present day. Well played Neil, great read." - Blue Kipper; "Roberts' book is so compelling, beyond the layers of Everton anecdotes and exploring his love for the Beatles... Blues & Beatles is a tremendous read."- dixes60.com; "An honest and heartfelt account of Neil's life so far, the ups and downs, the highlights and lowlights, the joy and pain, with his passion for Everton and Liverpool's favourite band resonating throughout. This is no normal autobiography, because unlike when you read the ghost-writings of some random celebrity, Neil's journey carries events and emotions we can relate to and emphasise with. Not just the emotion and trauma of parental break-ups, the beginning and ending of relationships or the magic of fatherhood, but the power music has on your emotions, as well as a no holds barred ride on the Everton rollercoaster and the influence it has on his relationships." - royalbluemersey.com; "A must for all Blues." - followtonians.com
