Following the successful launch of the Everton Women’s Hall of Fame in the autumn of 2025, at which Louise Thomas, Joy McQuiggan, Mo Marley, Billy Jackson and Cathy Gore were inducted, the selection panel recently announced two new stars to join them. Becky Easton and Lindsay Johnson were duly inducted shortly before kick-off at the last match of the season, against Leicester City at Goodison Park.
Wirral-raised Becky enjoyed a long and illustrious career in club and international football. In all, she had three spells with the club, first when it played as Leasowe Pacific, before returning in 1997 to help with the push for the club’s first, and only, national league title. The midfielder donned the royal blue shirt again in the late 2000s, contributing to two cup wins. Capped 44 times by England, she also enjoyed spells with Liverpool and Doncaster Rovers Belles.
Lindsay, who hails from North East England, was signed for Everton from Liverpool in the early 2000s by Mo Marley and effectively became the manager’s replacement at centre-back. In over a decade with the Toffees, she was in cup winning sides in 2008 and 2010 and would amass more appearances than any other Everton Women player to date. Her excellent club form was recognised on the international stage, with 43 appearances for England.
Becky and Lindsay were introduced onto the pitch to warm applause from the crowd, where the club’s technical director Nick Cox, accompanied by Hall of Fame selection panel members, presented them with their commemorative plaques.
Everton FC Heritage Society is proud to be involved in the Hall of Fame, which will continue to develop in the coming years, and offers its congratulations to the latest inductees.
