The Neville Southall Connection

Just started researching my family tree although on the Internet they draw you in finding the name you are searching for and then they ask for your credit card details to view anything, unbelievable.

The theory my mam and dad had was that we were related to Neville Southall the ex Everton and Wales goalkeeper and possibly the finest goalkeeper in the world at his peak. This theory is a good one as it stems from the fact my Grandmothers maiden name was Southall and a number of her relatives moved to Swansea in the early 20th century and believe it or not, one of my cousins is a dead ringer for the big man himself.

Only a whole amount of research will uncover the truth.Come to think of it, I was a pretty good goalie at school and my brother also played in goal and we both have decent beer bellies (OK that's pushing it a bit far).
