Crossing the Divide: Players That Have Played for Both Liverpool and Everton
It’s generally accepted that if you have a personal allegiance to a football club, you don’t then go and get involved with their bitter rivals in either a playing or coaching capacity.
But, occasionally, those rules go out of the window, with the fierce rivalry between Liverpool and Everton put to the test this summer.
John Heitinga, the Dutch defender turned coach, is the latest to cross the Merseyside divide. He played 140 times for the Toffees, and after hanging up his boots has forged a successful career as a backroom staff member – his stint with West Ham coming to an end when David Moyes was sacked at the end of the season.
