Back in 1982, Star Trek was riding high. The show's rabid fanbase and the general public had both loved that year's big science fiction blockbuster, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and were desperate to know what was coming next. HoustonCon, the annual science fiction convention in the biggest city in Texas, was looking to capitalise on that fandom and arranged for almost the entire cast of the movie to attend. Dubbed "Ultimate Fantasy," the con had everything: a one-act play written by Koenig that the Trek actors were to perform, a laser light show, and even a rotating Trek-logo-shaped stage. And then it all went terribly wrong.

After a decade of struggle and misfortune Everton became the best side in the land. Even better than their all-conquering neighbours, Liverpool! They won the FA Cup, thrashed Man Utd 5-0, beat Liverpool, home and away, and then strolled to the league title with a record amount of points. They steamrollered the great Bayern Munich and won a first ever European trophy and, for a time, were probably the best side in Europe. We will never know for sure - because they couldn't prove it... This is the tale of a man with Everton in his blood, a team intent on greatness and a city united in defiance. A story told by all the heroes of the day - the men that made history.
