Nil Satis Nisi Optimum – Nothing But The Best Is Good Enough.
This has been the motto of Everton F.C. since 1878.
This Everton FC Keyring would make a perfect stocking filler for any Blue Nose!
History Of Everton F.C.
Everton Football Club was initially named as St Domingo Football Club after the chapel on the corner of Breckfield Road in Everton.
The minister of the chapel founded a cricket team for the young members of the parish. However as this is only a summer sport, the minister introduced a football club in 1878 so that the facilities could be used in Winter.
The football club was renamed as we now know it in 1879, as many people who were not members of the St Domingo chapel were interested in joining.
Neville Southall holds the record for the most first team appearances for the club, playing 751 times between 1981 and 1997.
Everton F.C’s longest serving player is goalkeeper Ted Sagar, who played for the club for 23 years between 1929 and 1953.
The highest Goodison Park attendance on record is 78,299, at a match against Liverpool in 1948.
It is unlikely that this attendance record will ever be broken due to Football Ground Safety Regulations being introduced, limiting the capacity to 40,000.
