Jamie Yates from Everton Heritage Society joins the podcast to share some of the research he is doing into Oswestry-born George Farmer who won two Wales caps in the 1880s. Farmer was one of Everton’s two original professionals; the first international footballer to play for Everton; and is a key figure in the club's early professional era.

On Saturday 23 March, the Everton Heritage Society are rededicating Farmer's gravestone at Anfield Cemetery in Liverpool, followed by a reception at which The Mighty George Farmer Band will play an acoustic set. More information here.

Jamie is currently writing a book about Farmer, We Never Looked Back: The George Farmer Story.
