Details:Full Name: Everton Football Club Description:The St Domingo's football eleven was formed in 1878 by members of the St Domingo Methodist Church in Liverpool. Many neighbors who were not members of the church soon wanted to join. The following year the club's name was changed to Everton, the district of the city of Liverpool where the church was located. Everton were founder members of the Football League in 1888 and have played more seasons in the top flight of English football than any other club, being absent only four times in their history. In the 1927-28 season Dixie Dean scored 60 goals, still the English record for most goals in a season.
The tower in the club emblem is Prince Rupert's Tower, a single-tower prison built in Everton Brow in 1877. The emblem also includes the club's motto Nils Satis Nisi Optimum - Nothing But the Best is Good Enough, and a pair of wreaths, symbolic of success. The club's nickname - The Toffees - has several possible origins, the most likely being the house where many early club meetings were held - Ye Anciente Everton Toffee House. Goodison Park:The stadium is located in Goodison Park, a part of the larger Stanley Park, of which Liverpool's Anfield Road ground is also a part.
Previous Stadiums: Stanley Park (1878-82), Priory Road (1882-84), Anfield Road (1884-92).
