[Dr Baxter]

"Today the sectarian divide between the teams no longer exists except as a memory. But when it did exist Everton was always seen as the catholic team and Liverpool as the protestant team.
The origins of Everton's catholic support lie in the late 19th century when Dr Baxter, a prominent Catholic doctor and a leading light in the catholic community, joined the Everton board. He brought with him the thousands of Irish Catholic families from the Scotland Road area who duly became Everton supporters, despite Everton's origins as a Methodist team (the old St Domingo's).
The Catholic dimension was maintained in various ways at Everton, not least in the 1950s when the core of the Everton team hailed from the Republic of Ireland".

Happily the religious thing has faded into history.But when I was young in the 50s we were known as The Priests Team

Olney Street in Walton L4. Was mostly blues around ours and in Alsop I would say around 70% of the lads in my year were Blues. Only knew 2 Liverpool fans in the whole year that went the match. We used to have proper firms traveling everywhere from 14/15 onwards.

Moved to Los Angeles and now Portland, Oregon!

I see your Dr Baxter and raise that with George Mahon, and Will Cuff, both prominent methodists, not that I give a flying one about religion which is largely for deluded knobhounds to obsess about.
