I turn 30 tomorrow, but more importantly, Everton are playing and the Toffees have a great record when playing on the 13th of September, winning nine of their last 12, including each of their last three in a row.

Up the birthday Toffees 🎂

Agreed in terms of team results yes, at end of the day we all just want Everton to win football matches

Stats/data regarding individual players has huge significance and rightly so, especially when it comes to scouting and ultimately signing players
