What it means to be a EVERTONIAN

To be an Everton fan is to carry the weight of history with pride.

You’re not part of a club. You’re part of a founding pillar of English football. Everton didn't jump on the train when the game got big—Everton built the tracks. Founder members of the Football League. First to wear numbered shirts. First club to build a purpose-built stadium. First to have dugouts. First to hit 100 years in the top flight. It’s not just a club with history—it’s a club that made history.

You walk in royal blue because kings wore that colour. Because this club was forged in ambition, progress, and working-class pride. From the cobbled streets of Liverpool to the global game, Everton has always been more than just 11 on a pitch.

You wake up with the glory of the past in your blood.

Dixie Dean’s 60-goal season. The Holy Trinity of Kendall, Harvey, and Ball. The ‘80s team that should’ve dominated Europe if politics hadn’t stolen that right. Howard Kendall’s brilliance. Joe Royle’s Dogs of War. Artistry and aggression, style and steel—Everton have done it all.

And don’t forget: we weren’t chasing success—we were the standard. While others tried to catch up, we were showing what football could be. And when the money came and the game changed, yeah—we lost our way. But that doesn’t erase who we are.

Being an Evertonian means holding your head high, even when the world tries to drag you down.

Yes, the present is tough. Yes, we’ve suffered. But our identity isn’t just in survival. It’s in the refusal to let go. In our ability to look adversity in the eye and still sing louder, still stand prouder.

It’s standing in Goodison Park—one of football’s last true cathedrals—knowing this club means something. Something older than the Premier League, richer than sponsorships, deeper than silverware.

It’s not about chasing moments—it’s about belonging to something eternal.

You don’t choose to be an Everton fan. Everton chooses you.
And when it does, you carry more than a badge.
You carry legacy.
You carry revolution.
You carry EVERTON
