History |
|
|
Everton's long, proud history ensures them a
place in the top bracket of English football. Founder members of
the Football League and formed in 1878 - 14 years older than
their great rivals Liverpool - the nine-times English champions
have an enviable record. Dixie Dean enjoys legendary status at
Goodison Park and scored an all-time record of 60 goals in the
Division One title-winning season of 1927/28. Two more league
triumphs followed in the 1930s before a boom time for the
Toffees arrived in the 1960s and 1970s, with an FA Cup win and
two league titles. The 1980s then produced two more First
Division championships, a European Cup Winners' Cup and FA Cup
final victory as Everton emerged as one of Europe's most-feared
clubs. Leaner times arrived in the 1990s and beyond but Everton
resolutely retained their Premiership status and hold the
impressive record of any team currently in the top-flight for
having spent the most seasons in the highest division of English
football, despite their longest consecutive run only starting in
1954. Their FA Cup final win over Manchester United in 1995 also
provided a welcome cause for celebration among the club's loyal
band of supporters. |
