The Singapore Everton Supporters Club have been welcoming the Blues to their country and have even produced a personalised cake to wish manager Roberto Martinez a happy birthday.

The group held an Ambassadors Night with former players Graeme Sharp and Ian Snodin the guests of honour and further events are planned later this week for them to meet the current squad.

A special cake was baked for boss Martinez’s 42nd birthday today (which he shares with one of his predecessors Gordon Lee who is 81) and included a rather striking likeness of the Catalan – presumably in marzipan – although sticklers for detail might notice that the besuited miniature is wearing black shoes rather than his usual tan colour!

Singapore Everton Supporters Club also double as a local league football team and they put their end of season awards ceremony back so Sharp and Snodin could attend.

The event attracted Blues from across the globe with Evertonians based in the UK, Australia and the Middle East also in attendance.

Everton play their opening game in the Barclays Asia Trophy against Stoke City on Wednesday.
