Team History

The club was founded as St. Domingo’s FC in 1878 and renamed Everton in 1879. They were a founding member of the Football League in 1888.

Wold War I

Everton won their first League Championship in 1980-91. They were very competitive before World War I, winning the FA Cup in 1906 and another League Championship in 1914-15. 

After the war, Everton signed Dixie Dean, and his record of 60 goals in 1927-28 still stands as a single-season record.

With his goal-scoring accolades, Everton won the 1927-28 title. They were relegated in 1929-30 but came right back up and won the League Championship in 1931-32.

FA Cup Title

Another FA Cup title followed in 1933, and Everton finished the decade with their fifth League Championship.

World War II interrupted league football, marking the second time Everton were champions at the time of war. 

By the time the war ended, Everton was a different team, and they were relegated in 1950-51. After three years in the Second Division, they came back up and have been in the top tier ever since. 

Henry Catterick was named manager of Everton in 1961. They won the title in 1962-63 and won an FA Cup in 1966.

They also became the first English side to play in five straight European competitions from 1962-67. Everton finished the decade with another League Championship in 1969-70.

They slid back down the table, finishing as low as 17th before Catterick retired. Bill Bingham got the team back to third place in 1977-78, his second top-5 finish.

Howard Kendall  

The 1980s saw a complete resurgence for Everton. They won the FA Cup under Howard Kendall in 1984 and won the League Championship in 1984-85.

They also claimed European glory for the first time, winning the 1985 European Cup Winners’ Cup, beating Bayern Munich in the semis and Rapid Vienna in the final. Everton nearly won the first treble in English football history but lost the FA Cup final to Manchester United. 

In 1985-86, Everton lost to hated rivals Liverpool in the FA Cup and finished runner-up to them in the League.

They rebounded to win the League Championship again in 1986-87. From 1981-82 through 1987-88, either Everton or Liverpool, separated by a mile, won the League Championship. 

A Founding Member

Everton were a founding member of the Premier League in 1992, and the club won the FA Cup in 1995. They bounced back and forth in the table, and even a return to manager by Kendall couldn’t bring back success.

After five years of struggle, manager David Moyes and teenager Wayne Rooney brought the team back to a top 10 finish.

Rooney was sold for a record fee in 2004, and Everton finished fourth in 2004-05 to return to European competition. They played in the UEFA Cup for three straight seasons and lost the 2009 FA Cup Final before Moyes left. 

Roberto Martinez led the Toffees to fifth place in 2013-14 with their most points since the 1987 title. They reached the final 16 of the Europa League in 2014-15 as well. 

Everton cycled through a handful of managers from 2016-19, including Ronald Koeman, Sam Allardyce, and Marco Silva.

They couldn’t find the right combination to get back into Europe, and neither Carlo Ancelotti nor Rafa Benitez were able to get them going either.

Former Chelsea manager and player Frank Lampard was hired in January 2022 and helped steer the team away from relegation. 

No matter the records or spot in the Premier League standings, the Merseyside Derby against hated neighbors Liverpool is always a must-see event on the Premier League schedule. 

Everton Records

Looking at the Everton stats and Premier League stats, the player with the most career appearances is goalkeeper Neville Southall who played from 1981-98. Overall he played in 751 games with 578 appearances in league games.

  • Brian Labone (1957-71)
  • Dave Watson (1986-2001)
  • Ted Sagar (1929-53)

Also topped 500 career games. Dixie Dean holds the career scoring record with 383 goals, more than double that of second-place Graeme Sharp (159).

Dean also holds the single-season goal record with 60 goals in 39 games in 1927-28. Jack Southworth holds the single-game record with six goals against West Bromwich Albion in 1893. 

Looking at the Everton stats for transfers, their biggest transfer was paying Swansea City £40 million for Gylfi Sigurdsson in 2017.

Biggest Transfer Fee

The biggest transfer fee received was £90 million from Manchester United for Romelu Lukaku in 2017. Each of their top five biggest fees received are from the two Manchester sides, with Lukaki, Marouane Fellaini, and Roony going to United and John Stones and Joleon Lescott to City.

Heading into the 2022-23 Premier League season, Everton made two major additions that will help their Premier League odds. In July, they paid £20 million to add forward Dwight McNeil from Burnley.

They also added center-back James Tarkowski on a free transfer from Burnley. Defender Ruben Vinagre is joining on loan from Sporting CP in Portugal. 

One Major Sale

The Toffees made one major sale in the transfer window, with star forward Richarlison going to Tottenham Hotspur for £60 million.

They also released Fabian Delph, Gylfi Sigurdsson, and Cenk Tosun from last year’s squad. Meanwhile, Donny van de Beek returned to Manchester United as his loan spell ended.

The manager with the longest tenure in Everton’s history is Thomas McIntosh, who was in charge from 1919 to 1935.

He managed the Toffees for 719 games and earned 296 wins. McIntosh led Everton to two League Championships, one FA Cup, two Charity Shields, and one Second Division title. 

Harry Catterick led Everton’s resurgence in the 1960s. He has the second-most wins (276) and the second most draws (157) in team history. Catterick won two League Championships, one FA Cup, and two Charity Shields. 

Will Cuff Success

Will Cuff was one of the first successful managers at Everton. In charge from 1901-1918, he oversaw 275 wins while claiming one FA Cup and one League Championship. 

Howard Kendall was in charge on three different occasions, 1981-97, 1990-93, and 1997-98. He won two League Championships, one FA Cup, three Charity Shields, and Everton’s only European title to date.
