In 1989, ninety-six fans died when they were crushed against the fence around the perimeter. Despite these horrible events, the team has persevered.

Everton Football Club

Everton Football Club is also in Liverpool, England. In 1878, they were formed and joined the league in 1888. The football club was founded at St. Domingo's for the purpose of the parish of their Methodist Church having the option to play a different sport when they weren't playing cricket in the summer. They were changed to the Everton Football Club from the Church Club because people outside of the parish wanted to play. When the first game was played as the EFC, the players carried the goalposts and marked out the lines. There is no record of the men that played only that they won six to nothing. Everton won its first cup in 1884 and the trophy was given to then Club President John Houlding. They have won the league championship nine times and have stayed in the top division for one hundred and fourteen seasons. The Everton team was also affected by the tragedy that happened to Liverpool in 1985 and were banned from the European competition along with Liverpool. They didn't let it keep them down and eventually got back to competing and winning games.

Their colours are white shorts and royal blue shirts. Their crest features Prince Rupert's Tower, which is located in Everton. and features laurels because they are a sign of winners. The motto accompanying it means,"nothing but the best is good enough." Some of the nicknames for Everton include The Blues and Dogs of War. They've also been called the Toffees which the origin of which has a couple of different explanations. One is the business in Everton called Mother Noblett's was a toffee shop that sold the Everton mint among other sweets. A girl will walk the perimeter of the pitch before the beginning of each game tossing the crowd Everton mints. That is the most popular story while another circulates around a Toffee House in Village Street, Everton where the club met in the beginning.
