- THE HISTORY OF GOODISON PARK, THE HOME OF EVERTON FC SINCE 1892
Goodison Park officially opened on 24 August 1892 with an athletics event. The first match, between Everton and Bolton (4-2), was played 9 days later. Everton had previously played at Anfield, but a dispute over the rent drove them out.
Goodison Park initially consisted of one covered seating stand, two uncovered terraces, and a running track. In 1894, it hosted its first FA Cup final. Notts County beat Bolton in front of a 37,000 crowd.
The stadium got quickly developed in the early 20th century, first with the construction of a double-decker stand at the Park End in 1907, and next with the large Goodison Road Stand in 1909. The running track was also removed.
The new double-decker Goodison Road Stand had been designed by renowned architect Archibald Leitch. At that time, Goodison Park was considered the best ground in Britain.
Archibald Leitch also designed the next two new stands of the ground. The first was the new Bullens Road Stand in 1926 and the second the new Gwladys Street End in 1938. All stands were two-tiered.
On the 18th of December 1948, Goodison Park recorded its highest attendance in a match between Everton and Liverpool. A total of 78,299 supporters visited the match.
Goodison Park was one of the playing venues of the 1966 World Cup, during which it hosted three group matches, the quarter-final between Portugal and North Korea (5-3), and the semi-final between Germany and the Soviet Union (2-1).
The stadium remained largely unchanged until in 1971 a new three-tiered main stand was built in place of the Goodison Road Stand. At that time the stadium could hold about 55,000 fans, slightly less than half seated.
In the 1990s, following the Hillsborough disaster and Taylor report, Goodison Park got converted into an all-seater stadium, which reduced capacity significantly. In 1994, the last major development took place when a new stand got built at the Park End.
In the last fifteen years, Everton have been actively pursuing a move to a new stadium, first at King’s Dock and later in the Kirkby area, but both times plans fell through. After a break during which efforts were paused, the club recently picked up their pursuit for a new stadium again, focusing on a site at Liverpool’s waterfront north of the centre and one in the Croxteth suburb in the north-east of the city.

My dream i visit everton
It is a great joy, you must do it at least once. It's not the same on TV. I feel the magic every time i walk up the steps and out onto the stands and you get the first look at that wonderful pitch all bright and beautiful and perfect, and the noise when we score, it just makes you feel joy. Hope you are lucky enough to experience it one day.
Geof Thompson I don’t think he knows English with how he said it.
Not being mean or anything but I've been to Goodison many times im a blue so
A classic old school football ground. I love it and I love The Toffees! I hope the new stadium retains some of the Goodison character. COYB!
Jeff Jacobson I doubt it will, new stadiums are designed by people who don’t care for traditional quirks or atmosphere
Coyb.
@@indiekiddrugpatrol3117 it's older then 20 years old??
It's a grand old team to play for it's a grand old team to support and if you know your history it's enough to make your heart go WHOAAA we don't care what the red side say
Ive been an Everton Fan for 9 years since i was born goodison theres nothing like it I DONT WANT US TO MOVE EFC
We have to... Goodison is old and falling to bits..
I am not an Everton fan, however you can not deny that Goodison Park has been one of the outstanding stadiums up the 1990s ... its still a good old stadium, yet Everton need to move to the Liverpool Docklands.
they'll live to regret it just like Arsenal, Man City and West Ham fans do
@@waz3128 and Sunderland far bigger club then West Ham and same level as city before the pile
WHY a picture of a Wolves goal at the end?!?!
.....the mind boggles....???
Nothing beats the character, style & feel of these old football stadiums. This ground appears to have a church in the corner! That's gold, u wont get that in the new boring stadiums. & to think they once had 72,000 plus packed in like sardines. o how i wish i could have been there. Simply magical.
That's the iconic St Luke's Church. In days gone by it was a common sight to see some supporters sitting astride the church ridge for big matches.
@1:15 it says 1924 England V Ireland but at the top right there's hand writing saying Everton v Liverpool. Also, i think the player looking into the crowd is wearing an Everton jersey
It's definitely an Everton game and probably a 1924-1929 derby based on the kit and the clothes, but the keeper is throwing me because I thought it was Billy Coggins, and his only derby wasn't until 1934. Everton fielded a lot of different goalies in the Goodison derby of this era so open for a historian to pin it down. 1924 was Alfie Harland, 1926 Taylor 1926 Ben Howard-Baker, 1927 Taylor, 1928 Davies.
It's a pun maybe (Everton: Ireland / England: Liverpool)
Great old stadium
Magical views of this great stadium, it will be sad to see the club move to its new home.
Some great pictures but at least 3 incorrect captions.
Yep. Noticed the England vs Ireland but it's a mersey derby with Billy Coggins in goal. Billy was never capped.
@@TheGiantKillers - "Hickson 1950 with Floodlights in the background and Goodison 1966 without circles behind the goals - went in 64/65... few more maybe
I wish they would stop the lousy background racket useless and pointless.
all seater nonsense forced in by them lot ruined everything
Hopefully have safe standing at the new ground. 58k is too small. We'll fill that with the current season ticket waiting list. Safe standing will increase it to 68k, which I hope will happen 🤞
3:55 I loved the old away end before they seated it. It lost something when they turned it into a single tier
I am old enough and lucky enough to have seen Everton games from every part of Goodison since 1960.
The best view I every had was in the old Park end stand seated half way up in the centre.
You could see every vantage point from the elevated view. One lasting memory was from August 1965 on a warm midweek game I saw the great Alex Young score a wonderful hat trick in a 5-1 defeat of a top Sheffield Wednesday side. The forgotten Fred Pickering scored 2 that night. Everton would beat the same team later that season in the FA Cup final. A big regret is there is no TV footage taken of the vast Goodison Road terracing that held over 20.000 it was an incredible sight when full. The 60s TV coverage was from a Gantry fixed by scaffold on the balcony of the old stand so you saw the Paddock and two goal stands and terracing. From the 1970s to date the TV cameras where on a suspended platform from the roof of the Bullens Road stand that in the early days showed a narrow view of the ground as if came from a helicopter. This all came about over the clubs cool approach to TV coverage in the 60s that no proper TV Camera gantry was ever planned in the new stand built in 1971.
The move will be ok. Bramley isn’t like the curvy other new grounds. It’s tight, square and football ground vibe. Sound.
I'm not an Everton supporter but I can still say that Goodison Park is a lovely old ground!.
Oh it is spelt Goodison
@@goldengirl6960 I feel ashamed !
@@merseydave1 it's okay. Sometimes i spell things wrong too so there's nothing to ever be ashamed of. It is okay
@@goldengirl6960 seriously I am dyslexic
@@merseydave1 me too mate I'm dyslexic
Shows a clip of wolves winning at goodison the other week at the end of the video?
Was going to say that
I think hes a wolves fan who does these
Fabulous old ground, I love it. A City fan
Another cool vid cheers bro
A proper stadium
Goodison Park will be forever missed
I always thought they could have added a second tier to the park end, theres enough space behind the stand.
There is not enough space at the sides with overhanging roofs on the side stands.
Great expense for little gain. Best is to move for the landlocked site with poor transport access.
New stadium instead lol
😂😅when did young boys wearing hats die out?!
Like the old Goodison road stand and Park end stand.
1:15 it says on the photo Everton v Liverpool
👍
2:50 (and later colour photo) The only team to wear an all-white kit, against Brazil, in 1966, was Bulgaria. It was Brazil's only win, in that World Cup, 2-0.
Don't move please

Everton first announce plans for a new stadium *22 years ago.*
And now it's half built
@@colinmumford267
Without adequate transport provision.
@@johnburns4017 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 they and the council will sort it no problem, do u really think they won't with how big the project is , goodison and analfield has coped perfect for years with exactly that problem
@@colinmumford267
Once again..
*_Without adequate transport provision._*
Not difficult to understand.
So far no suitable transport has been arranged. *None.* Stop making things up.
@@johnburns4017 I havnt made anything up not once in any of my statements
Nkce.
Excellent video,Thanks for posting.👍
The reason why Everton left Anfield was not the rent. Many issues.
what about those cut out parts behind the goals?
Love these videos, please do the hawthorns!
Hillsborough stadium?
Why write the name Hillsborough on this site ? This ground should be Demolished.
Eh!
@@anthonyhousley6934 What ground should be demolished? Goodison or Hillsborough?
Very similar in many ways
Do stokes old one
1966 - Brazil v Hungary, not USSR?
USSR played West Germany in the semi final at Goodison
No it isn't. It's a group match between Brazil and Bulgaria, (which Brazil won 2-0.) When Hungary played Brazil, also in a group match, they were in their usual red shirts ( and beat Brazil 3-1.)
Wow definitely the best shed in the Liverpool
Over 3 years it will be demolished
Yeah that really will be a sad day....so many great times at "the old lady"...💙👍🏻
