Everton have endured a torrid season, with fans booing the team and calling for manager Roberto Martinez to be fired. But they still took a time out to give a former servant a welcome worth remembering.
The visit to Everton was part of Yobo’s preparation for his testimonial game in Port Harcourt on May 27.
