Season › 2013-14 › News The First Kings of Anfield Michael Kenrick , 10 September, 0comments | Jump to most recent A new book on Everton FC, 1890-91 As one of the twelve founding Football League clubs in 1888/89, Everton Football Club has a long, proud history. Having played more top-flight League games than any other English team, the Toffees have won the League championship nine times - the fourth best record of any team. The first occasion was in the third season of League football, 1890/91 when the Blues became the first club from Liverpool to collect the League championship trophy from their then base, Anfield. In achieving their success, Everton knocked the winners of the first two championships, the Invincibles of Preston North End, off their throne. But how did they do it? Who were the players in this momentous season, what sort of football did they play and who did they beat? This fascinating book by football writer Mark Metcalf takes a detailed look at that iconic season, with brief bios on each of the players who appeared for Everton, followed by a detailed look every one of the games Everton played. Mark adds lots of interesting details about the early grounds Everton visited for their away games, and uses contemporary newspaper reports to recapature the spirit of the day, when the football, the media, the entire world was a very different place.
