The below interview first appeared in the August edition of the new-look, relaunched Everton magazine.
Steve Walsh, Everton’s Director of Football, can remember vividly the first time he encountered David Unsworth: “He’s from my neck of the woods, so I knew David as a schoolboy. He’s always been the way he is now – big, strong, powerful and a really good lad.”
Steve has trodden a remarkable path to his latest role at Goodison Park. It began decades ago in the heartland of Lancashire. A Physical Education teacher at Bishop Rawstorne High School, he would combine his full-time day job with that of coaching the county Under-15s and North-West Under-16s sides.
