Renowned Merseyside football reporter Christopher Beesley brings us the inside story of Everton’s historic first season at Hill Dickinson Stadium, their stunning new home on the waterfront.

Featuring exclusive interviews with manager David Moyes, key Everton players and stadium architect Dan Meis, this is a unique portrait of a new era for a club that has played more top-flight seasons than any other in English football.
