Where were the time-travellers? It seems any old bit of silent film footage has them these days.
These were awesome, thanks very much.

Cracking treat to watch that. Really good stuff.

It's amazing just how different things were. The gentlemen dressed sharply in the stands and the referee running around with a suit on are an absolute joy!

The 1902 game we lost 1-0, but the 1903 game we won 4-1 (Hardman, Booth, Settle and Young).

Both games had estimated attendance of 20,000

My Great Grandad and then his son, my Grandad kept a hand written ledger of every Everton game so it's quite easy to look up!

I will pass it onto my son when the time comes...

Hey, wouldn't it be good if someone with the know how put colour to these, like Discovery do for WW1 footage?

Can't be arsed looking back now but loved the blonde Everton player who came out in the middle of the group with a really funny wobbly walk, taking the pee like, the guys behind seemed to be having a bit of a laugh!

I was buzzing on that too.

Also the guy at the side with a ciggie in his mouth pointing out to the players where the pitch is as they come out. ''This way please gentlemen''.
