Queen’s Head Hotel Archaeological Excavations

Hotel Confirmed as Everton F.C.'s first headquarters and the birthplace of big-time football on Merseyside Everton F.C.’s first secretary was the younger 26 years old John William Clarke, and not his landlord father John, who, down the years, had often been incorrectly credited with having had that historic role The Queen's Head Hotel has become part of Everton folklore regarding the events that took place within its walls and the decisions made that laid down the foundation of Everton Football Club. This historic venue is where St Domingo’s Football Club became Everton Football Club in November 1879, and in 2015…

Lost in France: Leigh Richmond Roose

A talk given by author Spencer Vignes to the Everton FC Shareholder's Association Leigh Richmond Roose Leigh Roose was born in a small village called Holt which lies just on the Welsh side of the border between England and Wales a few miles outside Wrexham.

Time to reduce Dave Thomas to tears – again

David Prentice Former Everton hero raising money for Guide Dogs DAVE THOMAS had to gulp back tears. Twice. Not when he was talking about the glaucoma which has seen him registered blind/partially sighted. The former Everton winger has accepted that condition. “It’s hereditary and I cope with it,” he shrugged. “You’ve got to. As you can imagine it’s life changing but I’m very positive.” Dave choked up talking about the support he has had from a legion of fans and well wishers since he started to raise money for the Guide Dog Association on a JustGiving page. He set out…

“60 at 90” – A Night to Remember William Ralph “Dixie” Dean

Evertonians can be accused of harking back to an illustrious past rather than thinking forward to securing a glorious future. There may be some merit in that argument but, on the other hand, the standards set in the past should be used to inspire us going forward, in the spirit of the club’s motto. The bar has never been set higher than in the glorious 1927-28 title-winning season, when William Ralph “Dixie” Dean (just plain “Bill” to his friends) achieved the mind-bending feat of scoring 60 league goals (in all he scored 63 league and cup goals in 41 club…

A Day of Celebration and Commemoration at The Winslow

Number 31 Goodison Road is an address with 134 years of rich history – 128 of them indelibly linked to the football club across the road. When The Winslow Hotel called first orders in 1886 there was a field opposite called Mere Green. In 1892 it became the new home of Everton FC. Over the decades countless Toffees supporters and no few players (in the days when many lived, literally, around the corner form Goodison Park) have passed through the doors. On Saturday 14th March this year, the Everton FC Heritage Society teamed up with the current licensee, Dave Bond,…
