Everton FC: The History.

Not open for further replies.
Here's an abridged version of my English coursework from last year. Hope it's OK for a Dunc bio (y)

Duncan Ferguson was born on December 27th 1971 in Stirling. He grew up playing football on the streets and for his school team at Bannockburn High School. His talent was soon recognised and he was signed by his local side before moving to Carse Thistle then Dundee United. He secured his first professional contract in 1990 and was soon playing first team football. In 1993 Fergie realised a childhood dream and signed for Rangers for a British record fee of £4m.

His Rangers career was short and far from sweet. After an altercation during and SPL game, Ferguson head butted Raith Rovers’ defender John McStay. No action was taken at the time but a Raith fan reported to the police that they had witnessed an assault. Duncan was duly charged and also handed a 12 match ban by the Scottish Football Association. The Scottish media were far from sympathetic and did almost everything possible to ruin Duncan’s life. He’d had enough and knew he had to get away. Rangers’ manager Walter Smith allowed him to join Everton on a 3 month loan deal.

He made an immediate impact on Merseyside. November 21st 1994 saw Ferguson line up in his first ever derby match against Liverpool. It was also Joe Royle’s first game in charge of Everton. Dunc proved himself straight away. In the second half Andy Hinchcliffe swung in a corner and Fergie rose above the Liverpool defence and nodded in a trade mark header. Ferguson became an instant legend as Everton beat their rivals 2-0. After continuing his goal scoring exploits and lifting Everton off the bottom of the Premiership, Evertonians were desperate for their new idol to stay. Similarly, Duncan was loving his loan spell. In December Joe Royle splashed out £4m and signed Ferguson from Rangers. He continued to enjoy impressive form although a suspension meant that Dunc missed Everton’s successful FA Cup semi-final against Spurs. After an injury Duncan proved his fitness just days before the final and was included as a substitute in Joe Royle’s squad at Wembley. He was brought on as a second half substitute and helped to guide Everton to their fifth FA Cup victory.

Five days after the Cup final Dunc found himself sitting in Glasgow Sheriff Court awaiting his punishment for the head butt incident. He was handed a three month jail sentence. The football world was stunned. Ferguson’s appeal was unsuccessful and on October 11th he received the devastating news. He was sent to jail. Evertonians sent thousands of letters to Dunc whilst he was in prison. In return he wrote an open letter to Evertonians thanking them for their support. He also promised to reply to every single letter personally. After his release Ferguson made himself unavailable for the Scotland national team. Although he didn’t say why, there is no doubt that he felt hurt by the S.F.A. betraying him. This was a decision that probably cost Duncan the chance of really developing into a world class player. However, he stuck to his principles and never played international football again, despite the efforts of many Scotland managers!

In late November 1998 Evertonians, Dunc and even the Everton manager Walter Smith were shocked to learn that Dunc had been sold to Newcastle for £7m.The Everton chairman went behind Smith’s back to do the deal . Nobody else at the club wanted it to happen, least of all Dunc. In an emotional farewell message he said “I will never, ever forget the Everton fans.”

By the end of August 2000 Dunc was back. After falling out of favour at Newcastle he was made aware of interest from Everton. Without a second thought he resigned for Everton for £3.75m. His second spell at the club was somewhat of a rollercoaster ride. He scored plenty of goals but Ferguson was frustrated by many persistent injuries keeping him out of the team for lengthy spells.

The 2004/2005 season was a successful one for Everton and Duncan. He was used mainly as a substitute and scored some vital goals. The defining moment of the season was the home game against Manchester United. Duncan gave a majestic performance to inspire the blues to victory. Just like he had done ten years earlier in the corresponding fixture, he headed in the only goal of the match. The goal was voted Everton’s goal of the season and the match will be remembered as his finest performance in a blue shirt. He received a standing ovation as he left the pitch and Evertonians remember this as their greatest game of the 21st century.

Ferguson’s last season for Everton was a frustrating one. Injury and suspension kept him out the team. He struggled with form and fitness but did manage to end on a high against West Brom, scoring a last minute equaliser. Dunc released his second farewell message to the Everton fans. “I would like to think that the passion I have for Everton is equal to that of all the magnificent fans.”
 
Good one CT. I was thinking I won't at this stage give an in depth bios on players or games but snapshots from my memories of games etc. You will have to bear with me as I will not be able for the most part to put year tags on them but it will be a little overview.
 
Goodison Park can justifiably claim to be the first major football ground in England. Molineux, opened three years earlier, was still relatively basic, as was St James Park, also opened in 1892. Only Scotland had grounds as advanced: Ibrox, opened in 1887, and Celtic Park, inaugarated also in 1892.

Everton spared no expense: £552 to clear the site; £1,640 to build two uncovered stands each holding 4,000 and a covered one seating 3,000; £150 for hoardings; £132 10s for gates and sheds, and another £7 for turn-stiles, as part of the overall bill of almost £3,000.

Mere Green was immediately renamed Goodison Park (the entrance was on Goodison Road) and proudly opened on 24 August 1892 by Lord Kinnaird and Frederick Wall of the FA. But instead of a match, the 12,000 crowd saw an athletics meeting followed by a concert and a fireworks display. The first game followed on 1 September with a pre-season friendly against Bolton that was watched by 10,000.

'Behold Goodison Park' reported the journal Out of Doors '...no single picture could take in the entire scene the ground presents, it is so magnificently large, for it rivals the greater American baseball pitches. On three sides of the field of play there are tall covered stands, and on the fourth side the ground has been so well banked up with thousands of loads of cinders that a complete view of the game can be had from any portion. The spectators are divided from the playing piece by a neat, low hoarding, and the touch-line is far enough from it to prevent those accidents that used to be predicted at Anfield Road, but never happened...Taking it all together, it appears to be one of the finest and most complete grounds in the kingdom, and it is hoped that the public will liberally support the promoters.'

This they most certainly did, at least more than Houlding's Liverpool, who drew only 1,000 for their first game at Anfield, which for some reason was staged on the same night as the Bolton game. In fact during each of the Football League's first tean seasons Everton recorded highest average gates, topping 17,000 in their third season at Goodison. Meanwhile the FA were sufficiently impressed to stage the 1894 Cup Final at the ground, watched by a crowd of 37,000. This was less than hoped but still substantial for the period.

Not surprisingly Everton were by then the richest club in the country, and shortly after the ground's first international was staged in April 1895, a new Bullens Road Stand was built at a cost of £3,407. The open Goodison Road terrace was also fitted with a cover at its rear, for £403, with a press box perched above its centre. By 1905 the ground was said to have cost Everton a total of £27,000, for a capacity estimated at 55,000.

Rivalry in the city was now well advanced. Everton were yet again runners-up in both the League and FA Cup, while across Stanley Park, Liverpool won their first championship in 1901. Just as importantly, by 1905 Anfield's gates were catching up and sometimes even surpassing those at Goodison.

The two grounds started to develop in tandem also, each in their own style but also in the hands of the same designer, the ubiquitous Scottish engineer, Archibald Leitch. In 1906 Leitch had designed a Main Stand and the Kop at Anfield. A year later, bolstered by the profits from their first cup final win, Everton hired him to design a £13,000 two-tiered stand at the Park End of Goodison.

But this was only a taster for Leitch's next creation, a mammoth new Main Stand, opened in 1909.

Athletic News gushed, 'Visitors to Goodison Park will be astonished at the immensity of the new double-decker stand.' Costing £28,000 it was Leitch's largest yet, towering five-storeys above the houses on Goodison Road, with a pitched roof topped by the now familiar Leitch central gable. The stand also featured the criss-cross steelwork balcony which would become his trademark.

.....That's all for now folks, more to come :)

James Alan Ball Jr., MBE (12 May 1945 – 25 April 2007) was an English professional footballer and football club manager. He was the youngest member of England's 1966 World Cup winning team and was made Man of the Match in the final following his performance. He played for various clubs, scoring more than 180 league goals in a career spanning 22 years.

Born in Farnworth, Lancashire, the son of Alan Ball, Sr., a footballer and manager, Ball was a tireless, marauding midfield player who could operate centrally or on the right flank. He came to prominence at Blackpool after falling foul of his headmaster over missing games for his school team due to a youth contract he had acquired with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

After he left school, Wolves decided not to take Ball on, and he started training with Bolton Wanderers but they too decided not to give him a professional deal, saying he was too small. Blackpool signed him after Ball's father called in a favour with the coach, an old friend with whom he used to play. Ball was given a trial in September 1961 and was immediately signed up as an apprentice. He turned professional in May 1962, making his league debut on 18 August 1962 against Liverpool at Anfield in a 2-1 victory.

Ball's performances in the 1966 World Cup winning England team attracted the attention of a number of clubs bigger than Blackpool, Ball eventually being sold to Everton for a then record fee of £110,000 in August 1966. At Everton, Ball settled into what became regarded as his generation's best midfield trio alongside Colin Harvey and Howard Kendall (still affectionately referred to as "The Holy Trinity"). Everton reached the 1968 FA Cup Final, but lost to West Bromwich Albion and were knocked out by Manchester City in the semi-finals the following year. Ball was instrumental in the team which won his first and only major domestic honour in the game as Everton took the 1969-70 Football League Championship title, seeing off a late challenge from Leeds United.

Back at club level, Everton again capitulated in the semi-finals of the FA Cup in 1971, with Ball's opening goal overhauled by two strikes from Merseyside rivals Liverpool, who went on to lose the final to "double"-chasing Arsenal. Ball later picked up his 50th England cap in a match against Northern Ireland and on December 22 1971, Arsenal paid a record fee of £220,000 to take Ball to Highbury.


Ball was 26 years of age and at his peak for both form and fitness when he joined Arsenal; he made his debut against Nottingham Forest on December 27, 1971. However, Arsenal could not defend their League title in 1971-72 and also lost their grasp on the FA Cup when Leeds United beat them 1-0 in the centenary final at Wembley.

Ball had continued to play for Arsenal through all this time, as a near-constant member of the first team at first, including 50 appearances in 1972-73. However, Arsenal's Double-winning side was soon broken up and their replacements proved inadequate; Ball remained one of the few quality players in the Arsenal side, and was made club captain in 1974. However with Ball out for part of the season, Arsenal only finished 16th in 1974-75, and then 17th in 1975-76. Bertie Mee resigned as Arsenal manager in the summer of 1976 and it was clear new manager Terry Neill wanted to take the club in a new direction. Now aged 31, Ball continued to play for Arsenal until December 1976, when he was sold to Southampton for a fee of £60,000. In total he made 217 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 52 goals.

Ball's move to Southampton completed a coincidental symmetry to the three transfers in Ball's career - he had arrived at each club - Everton, Arsenal and Southampton - at the end of the calendar years of 1966, 1971 and 1976 respectively, when each were holders of the FA Cup. Yet Ball never won the Cup himself. He helped Southampton back to the First Division in 1978 and picked up a League Cup runners-up medal in 1979 after they were beaten 3-2 by Nottingham Forest.

Ball then went to play in the fledgling North American Soccer League, joining Philadelphia Fury as player-coach in May 1978 and joining the Vancouver Whitecaps in June 1979. He made a huge impact with the Whitecaps and helped lead them to the NASL Championship.

Ball, in his days as Blackpool's player-manager, at his Bloomfield Road desk.He returned to England in February 1980, as player-manager of his first club, Blackpool. However, the return lasted until only February the following year. Ball's appointment was well received by the Blackpool supporters, and he returned with enthusiasm, a desire to bring back the good times to the club, and still had enough energy to take the field occasionally.

The year that followed saw Blackpool's recent ill-fortune slump even further. The club slid towards relegation, and only some determined performances (including four wins out of their final six games) ensured an 18th-placed finish and survival. During the close season, Ball brought in several new faces and was also prepared to gamble on youngsters. One of his most unpopular moves amongst the fans was the sale of Tony Kellow, a huge favourite at Bloomfield Road.[1] The 1980-81 season began in similar fashion, with Blackpool struggling near the foot of the table. The optimism that had been in place during pre-season turned to anger as the team's performances failed to match up to Ball's promises.[1]

After an FA Cup first-round win over Fylde Coast neighbours Fleetwood Town on November 22, Ball publicly criticised the fans for allegedly not wanting the team to succeed as much as he did.[1] Eventually it all became too much for manager and club, and not long after a defeat at Brentford on February 28, 1981, Ball's contract was terminated with immediate effect and the mutual love affair had ended in ruins.

In March 1981, Ball was tempted back to Southampton to play alongside fellow veterans and former England team-mates Mick Channon and Kevin Keegan.

He left Southampton in October 1982 to play for Hong Kong side Eastern Athletic, before joining Bristol Rovers in January 1983, where he ended his playing days. He played 975 competitive matches in his 21-year career.

Despite being in a struggling Blackpool team, Ball's industry, stamina and distribution were noticed by England manager Alf Ramsey, who gave him his international debut on May 9, 1965 in a 1-1 draw with Yugoslavia in Belgrade, three days before his twentieth birthday. Ramsey was preparing for the World Cup a year later, which England was to host, and was developing a system whereby England could deploy midfielders with a defensive and industrious bent, something which was not wholly guaranteed from conventional wide men. As a result, Ball became a useful tool for Ramsey to use - able to play conventionally wide or in the centre but still in possession of the energy to help out his defence when required.

Ball was the youngest member of the squad of 22 selected by Ramsey for the tournament, aged only 21. Though England as a team emerged collectively heroic from the tournament, Ball was one of many players regarded as an individual success, especially as he was one of the more inexperienced charges with no proven record at the very highest level. Indeed, he, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters emerged with enormous credit and eternal acclaim from the competition - and all of them were still only in single figures for caps won by the time they were named in the team for the final against West Germany.

The 100,000 crowd at Wembley witnessed a magnificent personal performance from Ball. Full of running, he continued to work and sprint and track back while team-mates and opponents alike were out on their feet. With fewer than 15 minutes to go, he won a corner on the right which he promptly took. Hurst hit a shot from the edge of the area which deflected into the air and down on to the instep of Peters, who rifled England 2-1 ahead. The Germans equalised with seconds to go, meaning that the game went into extra time. Somehow, this instilled extra bounce into Ball's play and the image of his continuous running round the Wembley pitch, socks round his ankles, is one of the most enduring of the occasion. It was his chase and low cross which set up Hurst's massively controversial second goal, and England's third; he was also sprinting upfield, unmarked and screaming for a pass, as Hurst took the ball forward to smash his historic hat-trick goal with the last kick of the game. Ball returned to a civic reception in Walkden, Lancashire following the World Cup success, where he lived with his parents and sister.

By now, Ball was one of the first names on Ramsey's England teamsheet and he was in the squad which travelled as defending champions to the altitude of Mexico for the 1970 World Cup. Ball famously hit the crossbar with a shot as England lost one of their group games 1-0 to Brazil, one of six strikingly prominent incidents from a fabulous game (the others being Jairzinho's goal; Jeff Astle's miss; Gordon Banks' save from Pelé; Bobby Moore's impeccable tackle on Jairzinho; and the sight of Pelé and Moore's mutual smiles of respect at the end as they exchanged shirts). England won their other group games and progressed to another showdown with West Germany in the quarter finals, but the heat sapped Ball's natural industry. England lost a 2-0 lead and their reign as world champions ended with a 3-2 reverse.
 
In a qualifier for the 1974 World Cup against Poland in Chorzow on 6 June 1973, Ball became only the second England player to be sent off in a full international, after grabbing Lesław Ćmikiewicz by the throat and kneeing him in the groin after a player scuffle. As a result, he missed the return game at Wembley Stadium which became one of the most notorious in English football history - a 1-1 draw in which England were kept out largely thanks to Polish goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski. England failed to qualify for the World Cup as a result.

Ramsey was sacked and Joe Mercer took over at a caretaker level, for whom Ball never appeared due to injury. However, Ball's relationship with his national side was enhanced and then soured beyond repair when Don Revie was appointed as Ramsey's permanent replacement. Ball was given the captaincy after the dropping of Emlyn Hughes and held it for six consecutive games, none of which England lost, and included a 5-1 defeat of Scotland in May 1975.

Then suddenly, Ball was not called up at all, let alone retained as captain, when Revie announced his squad for a game against Switzerland three months later. Ball only found out when his wife took a call from a journalist asking for her reaction. Aged 30, Ball's international career had ended suddenly and acrimoniously after 72 appearances and eight goals.

In 2000, he and four other members of the World Cup winning team were awarded the MBE for their services to football. Ball, along with Roger Hunt, Nobby Stiles, Ray Wilson and George Cohen, had to wait more than three decades for official recognition of their achievements.

In 2003 Ball was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in recognition of his talents.

Ball went to school at Oswestry Boys High School in Shropshire. Ball's father, Alan Sr, died in a car crash in Cyprus in January 1982.

Always a distinctive figure thanks to his diminutive stature, his high-pitched voice and flame-red hair, Ball released his autobiography, Playing Extra Time, in 2004 and received much critical acclaim.[citation needed] Aside from his highs and lows in football, it also candidly detailed his private struggle as a family man after his wife and daughter were both diagnosed with cancer. His wife died on 16 May 2004, aged 57, after a three-year battle against ovarian cancer. He had remained in the family home in Warsash, and from mid-2005, Ball had had an ongoing relationship with childhood friend Valerie Beech, ex-wife of former Bolton player Harry Beech.

Alan Ball was pronounced dead in the early hours of April 25, 2007 at his home in Warsash, Hampshire, following a heart attack. He was 61. He suffered the fatal heart attack while attempting to put out a blaze in his garden that had started when a bonfire - on which he had earlier been burning garden waste - became rekindled and spread to a nearby fence. His funeral was held in Winchester Cathedral on Thursday, 3 May 2007. Ball is the second of the 1966 World Cup winning team to die, the first being captain Bobby Moore in 1993. The Alan Ball Memorial Cup, a match between two squads of former international players, in the shape of "England vs The World", was played at stadium:mk in Milton Keynes on July 29, with proceeds going towards the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK and the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance Service.
 
Neville Southall (born September 16, 1958 in Llandudno, Wales) is a professional footballer, currently playing for Rhyl in the Welsh league. Southall's career spanned much of the 1980s and 1990s.

Southall entered the game relatively late, and before becoming a professional worked as a binman, waiter and hod carrier. Most famously he played for Everton where he made a club record 578 league appearances (over 750 in all competitions) and won two Football League championships, two FA Cups and a European Cup Winners Cup. He also played internationally for Wales, winning 92 caps: another record.

He had something of a love affair with Everton, enjoying early success in the 80s, whilst he was perhaps the figurehead of Everton's gloom in the 90s. Indeed, during the opening match of the 1990/91 season, he famously sat down during a "sulking session" against a goalpost at half-time whilst his teammates were still in the changing rooms during a surprise 2-3 home defeat to newly promoted Leeds United (it may be worth mentioning that Everton did pull back from three goals down but Everton were trailing by those three goals at half-time). A lasting image which epitomised the era. This was a turbulent time for Southall as he handed in several transfer requests throughout the season and did so further on in his Everton career. However he remained a constant fixture for the blues and his loyalty was rewarded in 1995 when he turned in a 'man of the match' performance to thwart Manchester United in the FA Cup final and claim his first silverware for 8 years. He also has played for Winsford United, Bury, Bradford City, Stoke City, Rhyl, Southend United, York City, Shrewsbury Town, Huddersfield Town, Doncaster Rovers, and Torquay United. He was voted Footballer of The Year in 1985, extremely rare for a goalkeeper, and awarded the M.B.E in 1997.

After his football career, Neville Southall had coaching experience with the Welsh national squad, Dagenham and Redbridge, Dover Athletic, Canvey Island and Molesey before finally going into management at Hastings United in 2004.

He was sacked as Hastings' manager in 2005 with the Hastings' chairman saying that "there have recently been an increasing number of issues on which Neville and I have disagreed and it had got to the point where our working relationship had broken down, beyond the point of repair, as far as I was concerned".

In November 2005, Paul Merson remarkably revealed that he had approached Southall and ex-England goalkeeper David Seaman to perform in an FA Cup game at Merthyr Tydfil as their two first choice goalkeepers, Joe Murphy and Andy Oakes, were unavailable. However, Southall turned this offer down.

On the 15th July 2007, Rhyl football club's website revealed that Southall has made an incredible return to football, returning back to his former club at the age of 48. It has been confirmed that he will join Rhyl on a 1 month deal.
 
Just want to start with some anecdotes leading up to my being an Everton supporter. My Father, who took me to my first game in 1963, introduced me to Everton. My father had himself been a lifelong fan of Everton and regaled me with a few stories. He had seen Dixie Dean in virtually all his games with Everton but mostly the home ties and was forever telling me about his heading ability. In Dean's record goalscoring season my father had been there witnessing this historic occasion and for him and countless thousands they were there to see this achievement. I cannot begin to tell you of the excitement that recalling that season brought to my father and me listening to it. It is quite impossible now for me to pass on the tales of the games and the goals scored as my father told me but I am sure all will appreciate the pleasure such stories bring. Many have seen photos of that time and the ball that was used. In those days and many years after before the advent of the modern ball, the original was sown segments of hard leather in, which was an inflatable bladder, which had to be blown up. When this was done to the suitable pressure the part where the bladder was inserted was laced up, these old balls were called “caseys” for short, as the full name at that time was Caseball. Not sure how many of the current members are familiar with those old balls but let me tell you they were damned hard and if you headed the seam you would know about it and they were still in use when I went to school in the 50s/60s. In addition those old leather balls soaked up the wet which made them heavier and harder to hit or head. That helps to put in perspective the goals scoring achievement of Dixie compared to modern strikers. A little story of Dean that my father told me, was of the time when he was walking down a street in Walton, coming towards him was the Liverpool keeper. When they got closer Dean flicked his head and the Liverpool keeper dived to the floor! How true that is I do not know but I pass it on. Also from what I was told Dean liked his beer as well.

My father who espoused the achievements of this great player nevertheless went on to tell me of his successor, a player whom I have never to my memory seen mentioned on this forum or others but himself was also a great goal scorer. That No.9 was none other than Tommy Lawton who in these latter days of Everton has not been accorded the recognition he deserved. From memory he left the club under something of a cloud after the war, which ruined many career and denied Everton the long-term use of this great player. Lawton achieved a fantastic goal scoring record for Notts County of 103 goals in 166 games.

Another player which my Father was forever speaking of was Ted Sagar and his record as Everton’s keeper whose appearance record stood until the great Nev. However if not for the war I have no doubt that Ted would have set up a record which would have been beyond Nev’s ability to equal or better. My father used to mention many other players but I never seen them play such as Peter Farrell, Ellington and Dave Hickson, at this time we lived for many years in Wales which made it impossible to see games until we returned to Liverpool and moved to Kirkby.

My first game was in 1963 when Everton played Fulham to win the league title winning the game by I think 4-0 or 4-1 and what an occasion that was. I was in Upper Gwladys Street on the church side. The ground was full and the shouting and stuff being waved was bewildering. The man of the match was Roy Vernon, a truly great striker and yet not on the Wiki list of great Everton Players, more on Roy another time. But that game marked the breaking of Tottenham’s superiority in the league which they had controlled for many years in company with Burnley FC and their captain Adamason, another football legend.

As to Goodison Park as it now stands it is staggering that the attendance is limited to between 30000 and 40000. I have been at many games when the attendance was far, far in excess of that and indeed my father was at the game when the record of over 78000 was set. A truly staggering figure when one looks at todays figures.

I will leave it that for the moment and return with more memories shortly. Not much I know but just to reach back into the time of our Club of which many of us have no memory.
 

As history of Everton FC through my supporting days (1983-2007).

At first we were gash then Kevin Brock played the moodiest back pass in the Milk Cup, Heath scored then we went ace. We won the FA Cup, League twice, ECWC and had some awesome players. When swapping Panini stickers for our players you would need about 10 players for one Graeme Sharp.

Howard left and we went into a long period of gashness, apart from the 95 FA Cup win over United. Moyes came five years ago and suddenly we're looking ace and have money.

To be continued.
