The Cannonball Kid - Dave Hickson

Ask any Everton fan whose allegiance stretches back to the 1950s to name their favourite player and the answer will be enthusiastically uttered: Dave Hickson. He was the only man to turn out for all three Merseyside teams and captivated the city during the decade with his outrageously brave centre forward play. In his ninth decade, Hickson sat down and began to tell his life story. From being scouted by the legendary Dixie Dean to being kicked out of an FA Cup semi-final, this is a compelling tale of football's bygone era, lovingly completed following Hickson's death in 2013.
