Everton Football Club, one of the oldest and most historic clubs in English football, was founded in 1878 as St. Domingo’s Football Club. The team was initially formed so that members of the St. Domingo Methodist Church in Liverpool could play sport during the winter months. In 1879, the club changed its name to Everton Football Club. Taking the name from the surrounding district.
Everton was a founding member of the Football League in 1888 and quickly established itself as a competitive side. เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย The club won its first league title in 1890–91 and reached the FA Cup final in 1893. In 1892, Everton moved from Anfield—now the home of rivals Liverpool—to Goodison Park, where they have played ever since. This stadium move was due to a dispute with the club’s landlord, John Houlding, who went on to form Liverpool FC.
Throughout the early 20th century, Everton remained one of the top clubs in English football. The team won the FA Cup in 1906 and claimed league titles in 1914–15 and 1927–28. The 1927–28 season was particularly significant due to the legendary forward Dixie Dean. Who scored a record 60 league goals in a single season—a record that still stands today.
Everton’s success continued in the post-war era. Under manager Harry Catterick in the 1960s, the club won two league titles (1962–63 and 1969–70) and an FA Cup in 1966. The club had a reputation for playing stylish. Attacking football and producing top-class players.
The 1980s marked another golden era for the club.
Particularly under manager Howard Kendall. During this period, Everton won the FA Cup in 1984. The First Division title in 1984–85 and 1986–87, and their first and only European trophy. The European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1985. That same season, Everton nearly won a treble, finishing as runners-up in the FA Cup.
However, the club’s European ambitions were curtailed by the ban on English clubs from European competition following the Heysel disaster in 1985. This ban arguably prevented Everton from reaching even greater heights during their peak years.
In the Premier League era, which began in 1992. Everton has faced more challenges, often finishing mid-table. But the club has always remained in the top flight, making it one of the few clubs never to have been relegated from the Premier League. The club enjoyed a relatively successful spell under David Moyes. Who managed Everton from 2002 to 2013. Regularly guiding the team to the top half of the table and European competitions.
Everton is known for its loyal fanbase, youth development and tradition. The club has produced many great players through its academy. Including Wayne Rooney. Goodison Park, the club’s iconic home for over a century, is set to be replaced by a modern new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock in the coming years. Marking a new era for the club.
Despite ups and downs, Everton remains one of English football’s most respected and traditional clubs. With a proud history and strong community roots in the city of Liverpool.
