There is a soul-stirring magic that has followed Everton from the tight corridors of Goodison Park to the majestic, wind-swept banks of the Mersey. Watching the majestic Hill Dickinson Stadium, we now realise that being an Evertonian is finally about looking forward, not just looking over our shoulders. After years of financial shadows and boardroom turmoil, the Friedkin Group era has brought a clinical, American-led stability that Finch Farm has craved for a decade. Under the steady, familiar hand of David Moyes, we’ve moved from surviving to competing, sitting comfortably in mid-table while dreaming of the European nights this new arena was built for. With a squad anchored by the world-class Jarrad Branthwaite and the flair of statement signings like Jack Grealish, the ‘People’s Club’ is finding its voice again. The road back to the elite is long, but for the first time in a generation, the blue half of Merseyside is marching with purpose. This is Everton. We are the Originals.

EVERTON HONOURS BOARD

ST DOMINGO’S TO THE DOCKS

Founded in 1878, Everton was a founding member of the Football League and the original giant of Merseyside. Before the lights of Anfield even existed, the Blues were champions at Goodison Park—the first purpose-built football stadium in England. The 1960s saw the birth of the “School of Science” under Harry Catterick, defined by the “Holy Trinity” of Ball, Harvey, and Kendall.

The 1980s marked the club’s zenith under Howard Kendall, as Everton became the best team in Europe, clinching two titles and the Cup Winners’ Cup. After decades of “The Great Escape” drama and financial stagnation under Farhad Moshiri, the club has finally entered its third great era. In 2025, the move to the **Hill Dickinson Stadium** at Bramley-Moore Dock signaled the end of the Goodison era and the beginning of a modern superpower under **The Friedkin Group** ownership.
