In Episode Eight - the first in a two-part mini-series -
Steve and Becky dive deep into the story of another true Everton legend. This time, it’s Ted Sagar, the one-club goalkeeper they called The Boss.

two league titles and an FA Cup. Learn about his blind date in Stanley Park
with his future bride, Dolly.  Discover his favourite pastime between
