Presented by Rob Sawyer in conversation with Ken Rogers.
An EFCHS original film
Everton FC Heritage Society have made a new film about the role and effect of Everton Village in the history of Everton Football Club, featuring the Queen’s Head pub, the two toffee shops, and, of course, the lock-up which adorns our club crest. Only the lock-up still remains in situ, but the sites are all within just a few yards of each other.
Well-known Everton FC author and member of EFCHS, Rob Sawyer, met up with former Sports Editor of the Liverpool Echo, Ken Rogers (Chairman of EFCHS), who grew up in Everton, to talk about the history of the village, it’s well known sites, and how they have been an integral part of the club’s history since its origins. Plus surprise access to our most beloved monument.
The film was directed and produced by Mike Royden as part of a father and son team, with Lewis Royden filming and editing the complete project.
Our films are hosted on our own YouTube Channel, so please visit and subscribe as we have more planned over the coming months!

Simply wonderful work, Gents. Credit to all involved in the making of this wonderful film. I get goosebumps thinking of my ancestors walking around the village, my dad walking down Village Street from his home in Rupert Grove. Thank you so much for preserving our history.
Hi Trevor, Thanks so much for your kind words and lovely comments, means so much more coming from such a True Blue as yourself!
Hello. Fascinating stuff!
We have a family rumour that either my grandfather or great grandfather (both surname Crosbie) were involved in the club in its early days, possibly as a trainer. Is there any way of establishing if there’s any truth in this?
My cousin, a BIG Everton fan, is coming over from Australia in June and it would be great to be able to present him with some solid info.
Many thanks
Peter Crosbie
Could you narrow it down Peter? What were their first names? Where did they live? Street? area?
How are you defining ‘early days’?
Do you have their date or year of birth and death?
Thanks
Mike Royden
