Everton didn't begin playing FA Cup matches until 1887/88 and were founder members of the Football League, which began in 1888/89. Prior to that the club participated in Friendly matches and local Cup competitions. Details are inevitably sketchy and incomplete. Match, appearance and goal statistics are not counted in any official records. * Everton's new ground at Priory Road wasn't ready for the start of the season and their first home match against Southport was played at Walton Stiles, the former home ground of the Liverpool Association club (who had recently folded). This was situated approximately where Keith Avenue, off City Road, L4 stands today. It's about 500 metres north of Goodison Park. |
