I WOULD like to wish Phil Cannon all the best as he prepares to swap Wiltshire for Merseyside.

Town's youth development officer is quitting Town to join Everton.

I have always found Phil extremely personable, honest and totally dedicated to his job.

He has helped bring through a number of promising youngsters during his five years at the club and I'm sure Walter Smith is hoping that Phil can help spot and bring on youngsters at Goodison Park.

Judging by their lack of success in recent years, the sooner Phil gets started the better.

At least his departure reduces the ranks of the Scouse mafia at the County Ground (only joking Phil).

Best of luck at Everton, mate.
