Stanley Parker
Player Valuation: £15m
Going to the match
You can get food - mainly chips - in shops around the ground and from trailers in the Fan Zone. Some local cafes serve the local dish scouse with red cabbage and bread and butter. You can buy beer inside the stadium - but you can't take it to your seat.
Before most home games, EFC Heritage Society are located upstairs at St Luke’s church on Goodison Road, providing displays covering the history of the Blues. There are stalls selling old programmes, unique artwork, memorabilia and merchandise and there are often book signing events and appearances by former players.
The players tend to arrive at the stadium two and a half hours before kick-off. Simply look out for the Players’ Parade section in the Park End car park. The teams come out to warm up on the pitch about 30 minutes before kickoff - Everton go to the Gwladys Street end. They like to kick towards the Park End in the first half.
Programmes are on sale outside and inside the stadium. There are two large video screens inside the stadium. The Toffee Lady - now a young girl - walks round the pitch throwing sweets to the crowd before the game.
Excursions by train
Merseyrail electric trains are frequent and return tickets are cheap. A Day Saver ticket costs £5 and allows travel all day after 09:30am Monday to Friday, and all day Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays.
You can even go to the match by train. Kirkdale station is a 10 minute walk from Goodison. Follow the fans to the ground, or start a conversation by asking someone to show you the way. A Soccerbus - free with a Day Saver - runs direct to Goodison from Sandhills station. Otherwise, ask for a Soccerbus ticket when you buy your train ticket. It's a good way of mingling with the fans and eavesdropping on their conversation before the game. After the game, it's probably easier to walk to Kirkdale to catch a train back to the city centre. Once again, you can enjoy the conversation!
Merseyrail trains run north past the docklands and then along the Sefton coastline to the elegant seaside resort of Southport.
Merseyrail trains run south - under the River Mersey - to New Brighton or along the Wirral coast through Hoylake to the smaller resort of West Kirkby.
Merseyrail trains also run south to the ancient city of Chester - a free bus takes you into the city centre. Chester has a cathedral and you can walk around the city on the original walls built by the Romans two thousand years ago! Chester is now a smart shopping centre, and Spud-U-Like even has a Roman hypocaust in the cellar.
