God I love this club , I used to pass the tower on the number 25 bus from toxteth to county road on my way to the grand old lady Goodison Park for matches in the 70’s and 80’s .

A fantastic insight into our history. Great work.

Once Everton touches you it’s never leaves you what a club what a fan base amazing club 57 years Everton fan love the club

Thank you so much. I am taking my grandson to these places in June, he is a 3rd generation blue nose and he needs to know his history!

I'm not an Everton fan but I've always had a soft spot for this club the history is amazing.

That was really intresting,what a great story and history of EFC,-and l,m a Birmingham fan,

Thank you, i to have been obsessed with My Everton for 55 years, and it breaks my blue heart to go from what we were to where we are now, i just know with our fan base and true understanding of the uniqueness ,loyalty and pride that we all have return to our rightful place at the top of the English game

I hope so mate, but we currently don't fill the demographic. FFP, is crippling us. Think back a few years, to when Man City were spending billions. Now look at it now. City are European Champions, having been allowed to spend indiscriminately before FFP regulations arrived. The system is flawed, and is responsible for doing the opposite of what it was introduced to do. Get rid of FFP, and allow some competition.

Fascinating wee documentary. Thanks so much to all involved!

Absolutely brilliant video!...I’ve been an Evertonian since 1955..💙...I thought I knew our history but this has took me back to the bare roots of our Magnificent Club...💙 it makes me even more proud to be Blue to the bone..💙..thank you...

I too was born in 1955 and was brought up in Everton between Heyworth Street and Netherfield Road. If I had my way I would put a sweet shop near to the new ground and name it after the toffee lady.

What amazing history ...also the advent of the new ground makes it more profound .

Fascinating! Thank you for posting - hindsight’s 20/20 vision isn’t it & it’s such a shame that such important & significant buildings were demolished or bulldozed.I love standing on Browside & village street just staring around going “wow that was there & that was over there, Molly Bushall would’ve walked here, Ben Chambers would’ve stood here, Theo Kelly………” amazing. Love the “then & now” pics - they’re always fascinating. NSNU UTB

Simply wonderful

This was great. Thanks

Thank you. It had me welling up. Born in Rennie Street ... my spiritual home.

Absolutely fantastic video. Would it be possible to do a video about the early history of Goodison Park in particular or Evertons time at Anfield?

Fantastic to be a toffee blue

Brilliant. Real history. NSNO

What a history What a fantastic club The heart ♥ of Liverpool the heart ♥ of Everton long may be Bring back the glory days with our new home Up the Toffees 👍🏆

Brilliant video and insights about a great club's history. My team is Aston Villa, also a club with a fantastic history. The first time I saw Everton play was at Villa Park in an FA cup semi final against Man City which ended in a disappointing one nil win for Oil City in front of 63000. I've always been interested in Everton's fortunes since this game which was in 1969, I was 14 at the time. Our league cup final games were epic in the 70's. I went to Wembley and Hillsborough but was ill for the game at Old Trafford... DAMN! BTW, thank you for Ken McNaught and Derek Mountfield. The very best of luck for this season and the move to your new ground next year. Great result for you guys at Brentford yesterday ⚽⚽⚽ UTV

Need to get myself down to a game at Goodison before the move to the new ground. Everton has always been my second team--Hail Hail!

A little bit of history on the name Prince Ruperts tower …. During the English civil and the siege of Liverpool castle , the royalist army had its headquarters on Everton brow , which is the highest point in Liverpool. He had an army of around 10,000 men ( the population of Liverpool was only 3000) they dug trenches and set up gun positions in the area to defend the area from the parliamentarian army advancing from Manchester and Wigan .

@@peterdawson5985 We were discussing Everton Beacon which was the highest point at the time. We included a painting from the Mersey to show this. The church did not exist. The beacon was taken down in 1803 and the church not completed (adjacent to the same site) until 12 years later. Only then did it become the highest point.

What a history 😀👍💙

This is a great video and fascinating to see how much the area changed. Disappointing that they haven't been able to full remove the vandalism from the door lintel at the lockup though

Nice to see my family history in the credits. My gran was a Royden!

I've been lucky enough to have a tour around Everton Park with Ken.

A well presented, interesting & fascinating insight into the history of EFC.

Excellent video. I bet many Evertonians aren't aware of this history. Cant believe you only have 353 subscribers. I will try and spread the word. Thank you

Outstanding documentary. And if you know............................. Thanks guys

What a brilliant channel this is...only just found it. Love it

Super interesting watch!

Everton Toffee is mentioned in Anthony Trollope’s novel Phineus Finn

That was really interesting. I'd love to visit that tower along with that cricket ground in Glasgow, where the first international was played. Our early football heritage is very important to me. Very best wishes to all those at Everton FC Heritage Society, great work you are doing. Many thanks from a Darlington fan.

Always thought the badge resembled the top of a tall tower

this was such a good watch

The city originals NSNO 1878.

Very interesting thanks

If you know your history 💙

loved that.

Huge change then from a prosperous village to what it is today. One of the poorest parts in the UK for a top flight football club

Has anyone else twigged that perhaps Theo Kelly got his towers mixed up. Up to watching this film I didn't know that EFC had used the original Everton Beacon on its letterhead back in the 1890s When he designed the badge in 1938 Kelly referred to puzzling over the design for months and deciding on the 'beacon'. The lock up (Prince Pupert's tower) was never a beacon. Had he meant the original tower the emblem could have turned out very differently

@evertonfcheritagesociety

9 ай бұрын

The Everton Beacon was demolished in 1803, so Kelly never saw it. By 1938 the lock-up was a very familiar building to all in the area. So highly unlikely he mixed them up.

Is the band going across the tower on the badge the brick wall that surrounds it?🔵⚪

I'm not a Everton Fan but this is a good watch & if anyone can help me I know a player who played for my club Stourbridge signed for Everton back in the mid 70s but you signed him from Hereford I think but I can't remember his name.

I’m not an Evertonian, but enjoyed this, to the extent that I have to admit I dreaded to see what had become of Everton Village …. and wasn’t left disappointed at the municipal vandalism that occurred.

💙💙💙💙💙😊

I live opposite a cottage in a village near Huddersfield called Stocksmoor where a chap called Ben Swift Chambers was born. I was told he founded Everton FC. He’s buried in nearby Shepley. I’m guessing this story is false then.

Name a club in a major city that was the first club in the city but called its club after a village in the city.
