It's been a long time since Goodison was the envy of virtually every other club in the country.
The Main Stand was ambitious in size but long out-of-date in design when it was built. In contrast, Sheffield Wednesday opened a main stand in 1961 that had a cantilever roof and ran the full length of the pitch.
And the Main Stand did commit Everton to staying at Goodison Park. Looking back, that was the time to move to a site with room to build a modern, new stadium.
