Dad whose life was turned upside down is now 'free like a bird' After the ECHO broke the news in 2024, thousands came out to support "local legend" Nelson Shardey

Exclusive: Nelson Shardey was made a British citizen today. He told me he now feels a weight has been lifted off his shoulders and he is “free like a bird”

'Gut-wrenching' farewell as Everton's 'bear pit' takes last stand Goodison Park has been Everton's home since 1892 but today will likely see the famous ground host its final Merseyside derby

I spoke to the characters who make a matchday so special about their memories of the wonderful old ground and their feelings about the club moving on

Downfall of 'the big fella' and his 18-strong onion gang "They thought they could hide...they were wrong."

Pretty staggering details in this story. A near-two year trial, 50 tonnes of drugs smuggled into the country - the weight of 30 family cars, 40 tonnes of onions a week to mask the scent of narcotics and up to £7bn in possible earnings.
