Everton

Everton was established in 1878. It was named St. Domingo's FC in 1878, so that the members at St Domingo Methodist New Connexion Chapel located in Breckfield Road North Everton would be able to participate in sports all year long - cricket was played during summer. The club's inaugural game was a 1-0 win against Everton Church Club. The club was changed to Everton in November 1879 in honor of the area in which it was located, since those who were not part of the church wanted to be a part of the club.

The club was one of the founding members of the Football League in 1888-89 and took home the debut League Championship title in the 1890-91 season. Everton was crowned the FA Cup for the first time in 1906, and then the League Championship again in 1914-15. The beginning of World War I in 1914 disrupted the football program when Everton were champions in the title race, this occurred again in 1939.

It wasn't until 1927 that Everton's initial steady period of success started. In 1925, the club was able to sign Dixie Dean from Tranmere Rovers. The 1927-1928 season was when Dean established the mark for league goals scored in the top flight in the same season by scoring the scoring of 60 in just 39 league matches, which record is still in place. Dean helped Everton achieve its third League Championship that season. Then, Everton was relegated to the Second Division two years later amid internal turmoil within the club. The club soon recovered and was promoted on the very first attempt, and scoring record-breaking scores during the Second Division. After regaining the top of the league in 1931-32 Everton did not waste time in establishing its status and won its Fourth League Championship at the first chance. Everton also took home their first FA Cup in 1933 with the 3-0 victory against Manchester City in the final. The period was ended in 1938-39 when the club won the team winning a five-time League Championship.

The start of the Second World War again saw the end of league football and when competition was reinstated in 1946 The Everton team was split into two teams and was a distant second to the team from before war. Everton was dropped again in 1950-51 but failed to get promoted until 1953-54 in which it was the second-placed team within the Second Division. Everton has been an elite team since.

The second period of success for Everton began with Harry Catterick was made manager in the year 1961. In the 1962-63 season as manager, Everton won the League Championship. In 1966, the club took home the FA Cup with a 3-2 victory against Sheffield Wednesday. Everton was again in the final in the year 1968, but failed to beat West Bromwich Albion at Wembley. The following season, in 1969-70, Everton won the League Championship with a score of nine points ahead of their closest opponents Leeds United. In this time, Everton was the first English club to win five consecutive years of European tournaments. This included the years 1961-62 through 1966-67.

But the triumph was not sustained The team was ranked fourteenth sixteenth, fifteenth, 17th and seventh in the subsequent seasons. Harry Catterick retired, but his successors did not take home any silverware during the rest of the 1970s even though they finished 4th in the 1974-75 season under coach Billy Bingham, third in 1977-78 and fourth in the next campaign under coach Gordon Lee. Lee was dismissed in 1981.

Howard Kendall took over as manager and led Everton to the most successful time. On the national stage, Everton won the FA Cup in 1984, and Two League Championships in 1984-85 and 1986-87. In Europe the club took home its first, and to as of now, only European trophy after securing its first European Cup Winners' Trophy in the year 1985. The European victory came after defeating University College Dublin, Inter Bratislava and Fortuna Sittard. After that, Everton defeated German giants Bayern Munich 3-1 in the semi-finals despite leading at half-time (in an event that was deemed to be to be the best match of all time in Goodison Park history), and then recorded the same score against Austrian clubs Rapid Vienna and Rapid Vienna in the final. After winning two cups, the League and the Cup Winners Cup in 1985, Everton had a good chance of having a treble but fell against Manchester United in the FA Cup final. In the subsequent season, 1985-86, Everton was runner-up against Liverpool at both in the League as well as in the FA Cup, but did take back victory in the League Championship in 1986-87.

Following the Heysel Stadium disaster and the subsequent exclusion for the entire English clubs from international soccer, Everton was unable to win more European prizes. A significant portion of the team that won the title was disbanded after the ban. Kendall himself transferred from Athletic Bilbao after the 1987 title win and was replaced by his assistant Colin Harvey. Harvey led Everton into their 1989 FA Cup Final, but they lost 3-2 in extra time to Liverpool.

Everton was one of the founding members of the Premier League in 1992, however, they struggled to find the best manager. Howard Kendall had returned in 1990, but was unable to duplicate his success from the previous season. He was succeeded by Mike Walker, was statistically the worst Everton manager of the moment. In the year that ex- Everton teammate Joe Royle took over in 1994, the form of the club began to improve. His first game as manager was a 2-0 win over Derby opponents Liverpool. Royle brought Everton out of the relegation zone and guided the club to winning the FA Cup for the fifth time in its history winning Manchester United 1-0 in the final. The trophy win was Everton's entry into the Cup Winners' Cup, the club's first European campaign since the Heysel period. Development under Royle continued during 1995-96, as the team rose to sixth on the Premiership. The next season was the reason Royle quit at the close of the season, and Royle was replaced for a short period by the captain of the club Dave Watson.

Howard Kendall was appointed Everton manager for the third time in 1997. However, the job was not successful since Everton ended up finishing 17th at the time of the Premiership. They only avoided being relegated because of its better goal differential in comparison to Bolton Wanderers. A former Rangers Manager Walter Smith then took over from Kendall in the summer of 1998 however, the team only managed three consecutive performances in the lower tier in the standings. [22 The Everton board eventually ran into boredom with Smith and he was dismissed in March 2002, following the FA Cup exit at Middlesbrough and with Everton in danger of being relegated. His successor, David Moyes, guided Everton to a secure finishing in 15th position.

In 2002-03, Everton placed seventh in the league in the league, which was their best finish since 1996. Under Moyes under his management when Wayne Rooney broke into the first team, before being transferred to Manchester United for a club record sum that was PS28 millions in summer 2004. A fourth-place finish in 2004 and 2005 ensured that Everton could participate in their UEFA Champions League qualifying round. The team did not reach the Champions League group stage and was later removed in that stage. UEFA Cup. Everton was selected for two of the 2008-09 and 2007-08 UEFA Cup competitions, and finished second during the 2009 FA Cup Final. The time was when Moyes broke the record of the club for the highest transfer fee paid four times when he signed James Beattie for PS6 million in January 2005, Andy Johnson for PS8.6 million in summer 2006, [29] Yakubu to PS11.25 million for summer 2007 in summer 2007 and Marouane Fellaini was signed for PS15 million in September of 2008.

The end of 2012-13 Moyes quit his job at Everton to join Manchester United, bringing in the staff of Everton to join his team at the end of July (assistant director Steve Round, goalkeeping coach Chris Woods and coach Jimmy Lumsden) together as well as Everton team members Phil Neville and Marouane Fellaini as well. They will be joining United and the former joining the team of coaches. Moyes became replaced Roberto Martinez, who led Everton to fifth place within the Premier League in his first season as manager, and also recorded the club's highest points total over the course of 27 years, racking up 72. The next campaign, Martinez led Everton to the final 16 in the 2014-2015 UEFA Europa League, where they were lost to Dynamo Kyiv, whilst domestically finishing 11th in the Premier League. Everton reached the semi-finals in two competitions, the League Cup and the FA Cup in 2015-16, but lost both times. After an indifferent run within the Premier League, Martinez was dismissed following the final game of the season and Everton finishing in 12th place.

Martinez was substituted in summer 2016 , by Ronald Koeman, who left Southampton to sign a three-year contract at Everton. In his first year at Everton, the team was able to qualify for Europa League, but a slow beginning to the 2017-18 season resulted in Everton at the foot of the drop zone following nine games. Koeman was dismissed on October 23 after a loss at home of 5-2 to Arsenal. Sam Allardyce was appointed Everton manager in November 2017 but he was sacked after the conclusion of the season due to anger from fans about his approach to football.

Marco Silva was named Everton manager in May of 2018. In November the club was prohibited from signing academy footballers from its youth teams for a period of two years. Silva was able to lead Everton to finish eighth in his first season as manager however, following a disappointing start to the next season that left the team in the relegation zone with 14 points. He was dismissed 5 December 2019. His final league game was a loss of 5-2 against Liverpool in the midst of Anfield. Former player and first team manager Duncan Ferguson stepped in as manager in caretaker for the following three games prior to his replacement, Carlo Ancelotti; Ferguson continued as assistant manager.

Ancelotti quit The club on June 20, 2021, to join his former team Real Madrid as manager, having led this club to an tenth place finishing in his first full season as manager of the club. A former Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez was appointed as his replacement. He later became only the second person in history to be in charge of both Liverpool as well as Everton. He was dismissed in the month of January 2022 following nine losses over the final 13 games of his charge at the club then was succeeded by the former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard.

The traditional colours of Everton's home are royal blue shirts white shorts, and white socks. In the early years of its existence, Everton had several different colors for its kit. The team initially played in white, then white and blue stripes however, as the new players who arrived at the club donned their older team's shirts in games and there was confusion, it soon became apparent. It was decided that the shirts were to be dyed in black, both to cut costs and to give an appearance that was more professional. The shirts was a bit unsettling which is why a scarlet sash was added.

The club relocated from Goodison Park to Goodison Park in 1892, the colors were dark blue and salmon pink stripes on shirts and the dark blue shorts. The club then switched to ruby shirts, with the blue trimming and black shorts. Royal blue shirts with white shorts were the first to be utilized in the 1901-02 season. The team used sky blue jerseys in the year 1906 but the fans protested, and the team changed to royal blue. At times, Everton have played in lighter shades of the royal blue (such as in 1930-31 as well as 1997-98). The current home kit includes royal blue shirts and white socks and shorts. The club could also dress in all blue to avoid color clashes.

The club's most popular away colours were white shirts and black shorts. However, since 1968, amber shirts as well as royal blue shorts were common. Numerous variations appeared during the 1970s and into the 1980s. Grey, black, white along with yellow away-shirts also have been utilized.

The end of the 1937-38 football season, Everton Secretary Theo Kelly, who later became the club's first manager was looking to design a necktie for the club. The club was in agreement that the colour should be blue which was then Kelly received the job of designing a crest be featured on the tie. Kelly worked on it for four months before settling on a replica of Everton Lock-Up located at the center of the Everton district. The Lock-Up has been associated with the Everton district since it was built in 1787.

It was originally designed as a bridal shack to confine minor criminals and drunks and is still in use to this day upon the Everton Brow. The Lock-Up was flanked by two wreaths of laurel to either side. in accordance with the College of Arms in London, Kelly chose to include the laurels because they represented winners. The emblem was accompanied by club's motto "Nil Satis Nisi Optimum" meaning "Nothing other than the very highest quality is enough". The first ties were worn by Kelly as well as the Everton chairman Mr. E. Green, on the very first day of the 1938-39 season.

The club did not often include the badge of any description on their shirt. The Interwoven "EFC" style was introduced between 1922 and the year 1930. However, the club switched to plain blue shirts, until 1972 when large "EFC" writing was added. The logo designed by Kelly was first seen on the team's uniforms in 1978 and has been there until now, undergoing gradual adjustments to be the current version.

As of May, 2013, the group unveiled the new crest in order to increase the quality of the design for broadcast and print media, specifically at a smaller scale. Critics[who?] claimed that it was an the external pressure of sports manufacturer Nike, Inc. that caused the change, since the amount of colors available was reduced, as well as the effect of radial eliminated, making the kit cost-effective to produce. The design was not well received by fans as a result of the results of a survey on the Everton fan site receiving 91% of respondents disapproving to the design. The petition for protests gathered over 22,000 people before the club issued an apology and announced that a new crest was planned to be used for 2014-2015 season, with the focus on consultation with fans. After a short time, the Marketing Head left the club. The latest crest was unveiled at the time of its unveiling on October 3rd 2013. Following a process of consultation with supporters and the club, three new crests were selected. The final vote was held, and this crest was selected by more than 80% of those who participated and was officially used in July of 2014.

The most popular nickname for Everton has been "The Toffees" or "The Toffeemen" The name was coined around after Everton had relocated to Goodison. There are a variety of explanations of how this name was chosen but the most popular is it was the existence of a place located in Everton village, which was located between Everton Brow and Brow Side Mother Noblett's which was a shop selling toffee that sold sweets such as The Everton Mint. It was also near the lock up that Everton's club's crest is based upon. The Toffee Lady tradition where girls walk around the perimeter of the field before the beginning of a match, throwing free Everton Mints at the crowd symbolizes the connection. Another possibility is that there was a home called the Ye Olde Everton Toffee House in the nearby Village Street, Everton, managed by Ma Bushell. The house that served toffee was close to that of the Queen's Head hotel in which the first club meetings were held.

Everton has been known by many different nicknames throughout the time. When the black shirt was in use the team was known as "The Black Watch" following an army unit that was famous. Since 1901, when the team went blue the team has received the name "The Blues". The team's style of play resulted in Steve Bloomer calling the team "scientific" in 1928. It is believed to have prompted"The School of Science," which later became "The school of science". The tough team of the 1995 FA Cup winning side was commonly referred to as "The Dogs of War". In the year that David Moyes arrived as manager He declared Everton in the title of "The People's Club" This has since been taken up as a semi-official club name.

Everton began its existence in the southeast area in Stanley Park. The first ever official game was held in 1879. The year 1882 was the time a gentleman identified as J. Cruitt donated land in Priory Road which became the club's home. In 1884, Everton was made tenants at Anfield which is part of the ownership of John Orrell, a land owner who was also a friend of Everton F.C. player John Houlding. Orrell loaned Anfield To the Club in exchange for tiny rent. Houlding took over the property by Orrell in 1885. He then became Everton's landlord . He charged the club with rent. This was increased by PS100 to PS240 per year in 1888, and continued increasing until Everton quit the stadium in 1892. The club considered the rise on rent as unacceptable. Another dispute between Houlding as well as the club's committee caused Houlding to try to control his club through the registration of the firm, "Everton F.C. as well as Athletic Grounds Ltd". Everton has left Anfield to move to a new ground, Goodison Park, where the club has played for the last time since. Houlding tried to acquire Everton's name, colors fixtures, league position and name but was rejected the permission of The Football Association. Instead, Houlding created the Liverpool F.C. club. Liverpool F.C.

Goodison Park, the first major football stadium constructed in England it opened in 1892. Goodison Park has staged more top-flight football matches than any other venue located in the United Kingdom and was the only English club ground to play host to an semi-final in the 1996 FIFA World Cup. The stadium was the very first English ground with under-soil heating, and the first with two tiers across the entire pitch. The grounds of the church that are the property of St Luke the Evangelist are close to the area between the Main Stand and the Howard Kendall Gwladys Street End.

On days of matches, in the tradition dating from 1962, players stroll out to the tune "Johnny Todd" which was featured in the original arrangement that was used when this was the official theme tune for Z-Cars. It's a popular Liverpool children's tune that was compiled around 1890, by Frank Kidson and tells the story of a seaman who is who is betrayed by his love while on the sea. In 1994, on two occasions the club was out to different tunes. The first time was in August of 1994. club performed 2 Unlimited's track "Get Ready for This". The following month the club performed an abridged version to"Get Ready For This" and the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic "Bad Moon Rising". The two songs received total opposition from Everton supporters.

From 1966 until 2007, Everton training was from 1966 to 2007 at Bellefield located in Bellefield in the West Derby area of Liverpool. The club relocated into Finch Farm in 2007. Finch Farm training complex in Halewood in 2007. The training area houses teams from the Everton first team as well as the youth academy.

There have been signs from 1996 that Everton will be moving to the new stadium. The initial plans were for the construction of a new stadium with 60,000 seats, however in 2000 a plan was put forward to build an arena with 55,000 seats in the context in the King's Dock regeneration. The plan was rejected because Everton did not generate the PS30 million required to secure an equal share in the stadium development while the City Council voted against the idea in 2003. In late 2004, prompted in part by Liverpool Council and the Northwest Development Corporation The club began discussions about talks Liverpool F.C. regarding sharing a stadium at Stanley Park. But, the talks fell apart because Everton did not manage to pay for 50% of the cost. On January 11, 2005 Liverpool stated that ground-sharing wasn't an option and set about constructing their Stanley Park Stadium. Stanley Park Stadium.

After a unanimous vote by Liverpool City Council to grant permission to plan in July 2021. Work with contractors Laing O'Rourke and Laing, started with the construction of the stadium on August 10, 2021. The first stage involved filling the docks with 500 cubic meters of sea-dredged sand. consequently, 2,500 concrete vertical piles were inserted. The capacity is 52,888. The facility is scheduled to be open in the beginning of the 2024-25 season. It is replacing Goodison Park.

Everton has a significant fan base and had the eighth highest number of fans in attendance at the Premier League in the 2008-09 season. A majority of supporters on matchdays is out of The North West of England, mostly Merseyside, Cheshire, West Lancashire as well as parts of Western Greater Manchester along with the many fans who travel to the club from North Wales, Ireland, and Scotland.

The official supporters' club is FOREVERTON There are several fanzines available, such as when Skies are Grey and Speke from the Harbour and are sold in the vicinity of Goodison Park on match days.

Everton often draw large numbers of fans away from home, both domestically as well as in European matches. The club has an loyalty points program that gives the first chance to buy away tickets for members of the season who've seen the most away games. Everton frequently sells the entire allocation of tickets in away grounds and tickets are particularly popular in the case of North West England away matches. As of the month of October in 2009 Everton transported 7,000 supporters to Benfica this was the biggest ever crowd at home ever in Europe since the European Cup Winners of 1985 Cup Final.

The biggest rivalry for Everton is with its neighbours Liverpool which they play in their Merseyside derby. The rivalry is rooted in an inner dispute that erupted among Everton official officials as well as the owner of Anfield which was the home of Everton. The dispute led to Everton shifting from Anfield to Goodison Park and the subsequent creation of Liverpool F.C. in 1892. After these events there has been a fierce rivalry that has developed since 1892 between Everton and Liverpool since 1892, but one that is generally thought to be more respectful than other rivalries that have been played in English football.

This was highlighted with a series of blue and red scarves which were hung to the gate of each stadiums over Stanley Park as a tribute to the Liverpool fans who were killed in the Hillsborough tragedy. Derbies are typically sold out and is known by the name of "friendly derby" due to the fact that both groups of fans are often be seen side-by-side dressed in blue and red in each of Anfield as well as Goodison Park. In recent times on the field, games have been turbulent affairs. The derby has been a victim of the most red card incidents than any other match ever in Premier League history.

Goodison Park, like all major English soccer grounds after the recommendations of Taylor Report were implemented, is now a stadium with all seats and is only able to hold around 40,000 people, which means it's unlikely that this record for attendance will ever be broken in Goodison. The record transfer Everton made for a player was made to Swansea City for the Icelandic midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson for a total of £45m in the year 2017. The transfer of Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United was for an initial price of £75m an amount that was a record among two English clubs, and the biggest amount Everton has ever paid for the player.
