AFTER winning the ECHO’s Dream Team FA Cup competition, Michael Fitzsimmons of West Derby is hoping to still be celebrating on Saturday night.

The 52-year-old has won the chance to take himself and four friends to Wembley on a National Express coach chaperoned by Blues legend Dave Watson.

Michael correctly worked out Waggy’s own FA Cup Dream Team, selected from FA Cup winning Blues line-ups from 1966, 1984 and 1995.

Watson’s winning team was: Neville Southall; Gary Stevens, Brian Labone, Dave Watson and Ray Wilson; Trevor Steven, Peter Reid, Jimmy Gabriel and Colin Harvey; with Graeme Sharp and Alex Young up front.

After being picked from thousands of entries, Michael has found it hard to take it all in.

"I’ve been an Everton fan all my life, but to have the opportunity to take some of my fellow Evertonians with me is tremendous," said Michael.

"Some of them were travelling to Wembley without tickets but now their dream has come true.

He added, "I’d seen all the previous finals and entered the competition with a team that had a blend of all the styles. Luckily I was right!"

No one knows more about the importance of goalkeepers in a FA Cup final than Neville Southall.
