Happy 32nd birthday to @evertonfc.com & England number one, Jordan Pickford. Jordan features in The Glovesmen of Goodison book by @evertonheritage.bsky.social member Paul Owens in this episode of the Everton Heritage Show, featuring his former coach Alan Kelly:

Another superb @evertonheritage.bsky.social talk/social event at @denbighcastle.bsky.social , last night. Paul McParlan chatted with @lewisroyden.bsky.social about the Toffees' title-winning team of 1986/87. Thanks for the great support for these events.

On #WorldBookDay here is a small sample of books on the Blues produced by @evertonheritage.bsky.social members. To see more, visit: efcheritagesociety.com/publications...

Ahead of this evening's @evertonheritage.bsky.social event at @denbighcastle.bsky.social - which will have Paul McParlan taking about the Toffees' most recent league-winning season, what are your standout memories of that 86/87 campaign?

Times were often bleak for the Blues in the late 1940s, with scoring goals proving problematic. But on 5 March 1949, the Toffees hit five past Blackpool without reply. Eddie Wainwright, pictured in white, scored four times.

We are looking forward to our third talk/social night event, tomorrow evening. Paul McParlan will be talking all things Everton 1986/87 at the Denbigh Castle. To register for the waiting list, visit: efcheritagesociety.com/heritage-tal...

Happy St David’s Day / Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus to Welsh Toffees. @evertoncymru.bsky.social

Sixty years ago, in the equivalent fixture, Everton held relegation fighting Newcastle to a 0-0 draw. The Blues extended their unbeaten run to 14 games, without conceding in eight. Deploying a 4-3-3 system, with a forward line of Trebilcock, Temple and Husband, they moved into 7th place.

Through attending a concert in a small Liverpool venue by Neil Sedaka, whose death was announced today, Everton’s promotions manager David Exall first met Graham Gouldman. The eventual result would be the song, Forever Everton. Read about it, here: efcheritagesociety.com/forever-ever...

From Birkenhead to El Ballet Azul: The Billy Higgins Story. A new piece on our website by Rob Sawyer, in which he explores the exodus of British players to Columbia in 1950, including the Toffees’ Billy Higgins. efcheritagesociety.com/from-birkenh...

On this day, 72 years ago, promotion-destined Everton hit eight past Plymouth (who got four in reply). John Willie Parker got four goals, with fellow forward Dave Hickson getting two. www.evertonresults.com/match2702195...

EFC on tour, circa 1954.

Wishing former EFC striker Alan Biley a happy 69th birthday. One of Howard Kendall’s first signings as the Blues’ manager, Alan’s star soon waned and after 21 appearances (3 goals) he left for Portsmouth, after a spell on loan at Stoke City.

The Toffees take on Newcastle United on Saturday, only the second occasion on which they have played them on a 28 February. The previous occasion was in 1998, when Howard Kendall's side drew 0-0 at Goodison. Ex Blue Gary Speed lined up for the visitors. www.evertonresults.com/match2802199...

Learning our history with the @evertonheritage.bsky.social team. New facts and stops from last year - the learning continues!

It's 126 years to the day since legendary goalkeeper Leigh Roose won his first Wales cap in a 2-0 win against Ireland. He was playing for Aberystwyth Town at the time having just completed a science degree at Aberystwyth University. Very proud to be Leigh's biographer, so I am.

When Skies Are Grey covers were works of art - and this Alex Young/The La's mash-up in November 2007 (designed by Nick Jones) was right up there.

The Everton village lock up, with @evertonstadium.com in the distance, last night. @mikeroyden.bsky.social writes about the history of the lock up (and its links to EFC) in a recent @evertonheritage.bsky.social article: efcheritagesociety.com/mapping-the-...

England Women will be playing against Ukraine at Hill Dickinson Stadium in June. This will be the Lionesses' first ever match in Liverpool. #EFC

This was the @evertonheritage.bsky.social article in last night's matchday programme. ✍️ @mikeroyden.bsky.social See all of our past programme items on our website: efcheritagesociety.com/publications...

If you are going to the game, do consider calling in at the @evertonheritage.bsky.social Centre - to the rear of the Bluehouse (entrance on Fulton Street). Lots of great stalls, brimming with Evertonia.

It was @evertonheritage.bsky.social 🤝 North American Toffees on tour, today, at Goodison Park and Village Street in Everton. Superb work by our members Ken, Jamie and Gaz 👐

Back home, tomorrow evening. Our matchday Heritage Centre is open from approx. 5pm until 7:30pm. Do call in on Fulton Street for great stalls plus the @EFC_FanAdvisory desk. This short video shows where we are located.

On this day in 1903, 15,000 came to Goodison Park to watch the Blues dispatch Manchester United 3-1 in the FA Cup. Walter Abbott, skipper Tom Booth and Jack Taylor (pictured with his family) found the net for the Toffeemen.

The latest article on our website sees @mikeroyden.bsky.social (pictured here with Ronny Goodlass) delve into the history of the Everton district and how it was mapped. He goes on to explain how the lock up tower came to be a symbol of EFC. efcheritagesociety.com/mapping-the-...

Mapping the Lock Up and the History of the Everton Crest. A fantastic deep dive by @mikeroyden.bsky.social into the history of the Everton district, the beacon, the lock up - and story of our famous club crest. Top class Evertonia. efcheritagesociety.com/mapping-the-...

35 five years ago, today, we saw one of the all-time great Goodison Park matches. Everton 4 Liverpool 4. What are your memories of that crazy cup tie? #EFC

A great conversation between Jamie Yates and @lewisroyden.bsky.social about the areas of EFC historical research carried out by the former (George Farmer, Thomas Keates and more). youtube.com/watch?v=MBa_...

Today, some of our members had the pleasure of a tour of @evertonstadium.com . We're very grateful to everyone who made us so welcome, especially Darren Griffiths.

Often cited as being born on 19th February 1889, but it was actually the 18th, Joe Clennell won the league with Blackburn Rovers and Everton before enjoying a widely-travelled career. His story is on our website: efcheritagesociety.com/joe-clennell...

Happy 82nd birthday, Henry Newton. A big-money buy from Nottingham Forest in 1970, he was restricted to 85 Toffees appearances by illness and competition for places. The midfielder was sometimes deployed at left-back, ahead of namesake Keith. League winner with Derby County.

Here is a look at how the Toffees were seeking to protect their pitches from the elements at the dawn of the 1970s. Artificial surfaces were already being mooted. A nice mention for groundsman Alan Storey, too. More on him, here: efcheritagesociety.com/ted-and-alan...

An excellent new Paul Owens article is up on our website. It's titled: Earning their stars and stripes – international standard goalkeeping. It draws on an interview Paul did with former Toffees & Lionesses goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis. efcheritagesociety.com/earning-thei...

Two years ago, today, Séamus Coleman was presented with the Dixie Dean Memorial Award at Goodison Park by Dave Watson, during an event organised by @evertonheritage.bsky.social . Read about the special evening, here: efcheritagesociety.com/dixie-dean-m...

Who is the most impactful Toffees signing? It’s hard to look past William Ralph Dean, but Bobby Collins, born 16 February 1931, helped to transform a dormant-feeling club in the late 1950s and propel the Blues in the 1960s. Leeds United supporters may concur on his influence. #EFC

The new episode of the @evertonheritage.bsky.social Show has a fascinating interview by @lewisroyden.bsky.social with Jamie Yates. Jamie discusses his research into key early EFC figures, like George Fleming, George Farmer and Thomas Keates (the club’s first biographer). youtu.be/MBa_JzrW-V4?...

Episode 11 of the Everton Heritage Show is out, now. Sit back and enjoy over an hour of Evertonia with @evertonheritage.bsky.social member and expert on the Blues' early history, Jamie Yates. It's hosted by @lewisroyden.bsky.social . youtu.be/MBa_JzrW-V4?... #EFC

On this day, 42 years ago, the Toffees best Aston Villa, 2-0, in the first leg of the Milk Cup semi-final. Kevin Sheedy and Kevin Richardson were on target; the latter also got away with a handball to deny a Villa goal. The second leg was a week later.

Finally got hold of this one 🥰 Loads of great #Everton items like this at the Heritage Centre, get down there pre game for a mooch! #UTFT 💙🤍

Born on this day in 1892, one of Britain’s great amateur multi-disciplinary sportsmen: Benjamin Howard Baker. The Liverpool-raised goalkeeper is closely associated with Chelsea but represented the Toffees, too. He was also an Olympic athlete. efcheritagesociety.com/benjamin-how...
