Welcome to Bellefield and Tales from Within

Bellefield was more than just a training ground for Everton Football Club—it was a place where winners were made, legends were forged, and dreams took shape. In Welcome to Bellefield and Tales from Within, Anthony Roche takes readers beyond the pitch and into the heart of the club’s most iconic training base.

Through the eyes of Rochey, Parker, Cooper, and Skinny Maca, we experience what it was like to be young, passionate Evertonians, hanging around Bellefield’s gates in the hopes of meeting their heroes. Alongside these fan stories, the book also includes tales from former Everton players, providing a rare glimpse behind the scenes at one of football’s most famous training grounds.

Filled with humor, nostalgia, and deep affection for the club, this book follows in the footsteps of Roche’s previous bestseller, Having a Ball with Kendall and Harvey. Whether you're a lifelong Blue or a football fan fascinated by behind-the-scenes stories, this is a must-read.
