Winger prefers Jordan’s documentary to Leicester’s nail-biting draw but is focused now Everton’s destiny is in their own hands
Dwight McNeil preferred to watch The Last Dance rather than endure the stomach-churning tension of Leicester’s draw with Newcastle on Monday. Everton must hope the tale of a monumental last-gasp victory for Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, and not its title, mirrors their Sunday.
Everton last suffered the ignominy of relegation on 5 May 1951. Clement Attlee was prime minister, Harry S Truman was US president, and to stay up Cliff Britton’s team needed a point away to a Sheffield Wednesday side who were in effect relegated. Everton lost 6-0, finished bottom of the First Division and spent three seasons in the second before returning in 1954, remaining ever since.
