Jack Coulter - From Whiteabbey to Goodison Park

In spite of having his Everton career restricted to less than 60 appearances by a broken leg, Jack Coulter ('Jackie' to many of his fans) left an indelible mark in the consciousness of Evertonians. Some forty years after he left the club, supporters voted him the finest left-winger to grace Goodison Park. His partnership with fellow-Irishman Alex Stevenson bamboozled opponents at club and international level - and left supporters in raptures with their blend of skill and audacity. This biography traces the football career of the man from Whiteabbey, who lost his father in the First World War. It takes us from Brantwood to Belfast Celtic and across the Irish Sea to Merseyside. Stops in Lincolnshire, Essex, South Wales, Cheshire and South Wales follow, before a return to Jack's homeland in 1939.
