Everton

Everton

Everton Football Club was founded in Liverpool in 1878. The club was one of the founding members of the Football League. They played at Stanley Park for a few years before they moved to a brand new ground at Anfield. Everton stayed there for ten years before moving to Goodison Park which has been their home ever since. Goodison Park was the biggest football ground in the country when it was built and has staged more top-flight football matches than any other stadium. Today, it can hold 39,414 fans.

Factsheet

  • Stadium: Goodison Park  
  • Stadium Capacity: 39,572
  • Location: Liverpool
  • Founded: 1878
  • Nickname: The Toffees
  • Manager: Sean Dyche
  • Kit: Blue shirts, white shorts and white socks

An aerial view of Goodison Park and the surrounding area

In the late 1800s, there was a sweet shop that made special toffee mints to sell to the football fans on their way to the stadium. You can still buy 'Everton mints' today and Everton's nickname is the 'Toffees'. 

When Everton play at home, they wear blue shirts and black shorts. Their club badge has a picture of Prince Rupert's Tower which was built in 1787 in Everton. The tower was built to be used as a lock-up which was a little jail for criminals accused of minor crimes.

Everton have won 9 league titles, only Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have won more league titles than Everton in the history of English football. But, Everton’s last title was in 1987 and the highest they have finished in the Premier League is 4th, in 2005. Everton have also won the FA Cup 5 times, the League Cup twice and have won 1 European trophy. Everton’s most successful time in modern football was in the mid-1980s when they won 4 trophies.

Everton was a small village a long time ago but is now part of the city of Liverpool. There is a strong rivalry between Everton and Liverpool football clubs, but the rivalry is mainly friendly. ‘The Merseyside Derby’, which is the match between Everton and Liverpool is sometimes called ‘The Friendly Derby’. In the past, it was common for friends, neighbours and relatives of the two teams to watch the ‘Derby’ together.

If you live in Liverpool, you have to decide who you support. There aren’t really parts of the city that are devoted to one team rather than the other. You’ll find just as many Everton supporters living close to Anfield (Liverpool’s ground), as there are Liverpool supporters living near Goodison Park (Everton’s). Most often it’s just down to whether someone’s parents, siblings or grandparents support Liverpool or Everton.

I'm afraid, Frank Lampard will be the first Premier League manager to be sacked this season. This is because the club has no main strikes as Richarlison went to Spurs and DCL is injuried. In addition, the main defenders like Minawill be out for injuries.

I think that is a little outdated. The current manager is Rafa Benitez, not Koeman, and their last position in Premier League I think that was 6th, am I wrong?
It doesn't care, very nice story and amazing club!
I hope they can overcome the problems they have had lately with their best player, James.
And of course, Richarlison's last months were really amazing, winning the Olympic Games and playing Copa America's final with Brazil.

Everton is a famous club with lots of heritage and a big fanbase.
They play fantastic football and their manager is brilliant.
My favourite Everton player is Dominic Calvert-Lewin because he is a wonderful striker and of course Wayne Rooney the legend.
I think Everton will finish at the top part of the table this year between 7th-10th position.

The first "Friendly Derby" at Anfield this season ended up with the funny goal by Origi in the last seconds. Klopp made a hectic run in his celebration of the 1 : 0 victory then. Later he was fined for doing this. I'd like him to be fined again after the Derby this Sunday at Goodison Park. :-)

I expected to see better performances on the pitch, a team ready to chase the place for Europa League or maybe more..Not so good on Goodison Park in 2015. I think they might do smth.in the FA cup though. 'The toffees' will beat Carlisle Utd. and qualify for the 5th round.
