Everton Football Club Heritage Archive (What We Plan to Build)
Below is a proof-of-concept preview showing what we aim to build for Everton Football Club, documenting industrial origins, lost terraces, matchday walks, DIY fanzines, unsung backroom figures, and filmed supporter oral histories.
Because broadcast-grade supporter filming and museum-standard memorabilia digitisation carry significant production costs, we cannot film all 22 clubs at once. We are launching Phase 1 with a strictly limited cohort of 4 to 6 Founding Partner Clubs, before expanding to 8 clubs in Phase 2 and the final 8 clubs in Phase 3. All text, quotes, and media below are illustrative proof-of-concept examples showing what we will build for Everton.
How We Will Build the Everton Football Club Chronicle
This interactive prototype demonstrates how we plan to present Everton Football Club’s era-by-era history, spotlight figures, and defining milestones. Due to the cost of producing filmed supporter interviews and archival digitisation, we will roll out full Club Chronicles in structured phases, beginning with an initial cohort of Phase 1 partner clubs before expanding across all 22 North West teams. Use the arrows or era tabs below to preview the planned format.
Origins, Early League Entry & Working-Class Roots
Everton Football Club was formed in 1878 as St Domingo's FC. Founded in 1878 for members of St Domingo Methodist Church in Everton. Renamed Everton in 1879, the club became 1888 Football League founder members, won their first title at Anfield in 1891, and opened Goodison Park in 1892. Through mass community backing and local industrial roots, the club quickly established itself as a foundational pillar of North West sporting heritage.
Leading figures and local workers who established Everton Football Club in 1878, helping lay the roots of Lancashire football culture.

Planned Everton Supporter Oral History Tapes (Concept Preview)
Illustrative prototype cards showing how we will film, catalogue, and present eyewitness recollections, away day stories, and authentic terrace memories with lifelong Everton supporters when Everton's phase is commissioned.
Industrial & Community Roots
Founded in 1878 for members of St Domingo Methodist Church in Everton. Renamed Everton in 1879, the club became 1888 Football League founder members, won their first title at Anfield in 1891, and opened Goodison Park in 1892.
Named after Mother Noblett's toffee shop near Goodison Park, which sold Everton Mints to supporters.
Stadium & Lost Terraces
Goodison Park ('The Grand Old Lady') opened in 1892 as England's first purpose-built football ground, featuring Archibald Leitch's iconic criss-cross balcony balustrades and St Luke's Church nestled into the corner.
The original Anfield ground (where Everton won their 1891 title before moving) and the wooden Goodison paddock standing enclosures.
Defining Folklore Moments
Dean scored an unforgettable hat-trick against Arsenal on the final day at Goodison to reach 60 league goals in a single season, a record that will never be broken.
Goodison produced its greatest atmosphere as Everton came from behind to defeat Bayern Munich 3-1, before winning the European Cup Winners' Cup in Rotterdam.
Joe Royle’s side defeated Manchester United 1-0 at Wembley with Paul Rideout’s header to bring the cup back to Merseyside.
DIY Fanzine Revolution (1970s–90s)
WSAG is one of British football's most celebrated independent fanzines, sold continuously on County Road since 1988.
The Historic Matchday Walk
Up County Road through the bustling shops, passing the Winslow Hotel and St Luke's Church into the Gwladys Street End.
Unsung Backroom Legends
The unbroken tradition of a young Evertonian girl in Victorian dress throwing Everton Mints to the terraces before every home kickoff.
“Goodison Park has a soul. You feel it in the wooden floorboards of the Upper Bullens and the roar of the Gwladys Street. Moving to Bramley-Moore Dock carries 133 years of blue history to the Mersey.”
"I Was There" • Planned Supporter Memoirs & Oral History (Sample Format)
“The ground was literally vibrating. When Andy Gray headed that third goal past Pfaff, the noise tore the roof off the Bullens Road. Nothing in world football compares to a night match under Goodison floodlights.”
