Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Q. How long have Everton's players run out to the strains of the Z Cars theme at Goodison Park? Has a different tune been played during that period? And which football club holds the record for the longest- playing tune?
A. Everton have run out on to the pitch to the theme from Z Cars since the 1962-63 season. The tune is actually based on a sea-shanty called "Johnny Todd", a tune that was familiar to the occupants of a port city.
In 1994, Mike Walker, the manager, decided to replace the tune with something a bit more modern - this turned out to be from the band 2 Unlimited.
The Everton faithful rebelled and 2 Unlimited's stay at Goodison Park was only slightly shorter than that of Mike Walker.
