Description:
The club was formed in 1878 by members of the St Domingo Methodist Church. Many neighbors who were not members of the church wanted to join. The following year the club's name was changed to Everton, the district of the city of Liverpool where the church was located. The tower in the club emblem is Prince Rupert's Tower, a single-tower prison built in Everton Brow in 1877. The emblem also includes the club's motto Nils Satis Nisi Optimum - Nothing But the Best is Good Enough, and a pair of wreaths, symbolic of success. In the 1927-28 season, Dixie Dean scored 60 goals, still the English record for most goals in a season. Everton were founder members of the Football League in 1888 and have played more seasons in the top flight of English football than any other club. The club's nickname - The Toffees - has several possible origins, the most likely being the house where many early club meetings were held - Ye Anciente Everton Toffee House. The stadium is located in Goodison Park, a part of the larger Stanley Park, of which Liverpool's Anfield Road is also a part. Previous Stadiums - Stanley Park (1878-82), Priory Road (1882-84), Anfield Road (1884-92).
