Everton records

[Groucho]

Just a few tidbits I thought would make a nice distraction from slating, err, watching our players in the WC.

By no means a comprehensive trivia list, just a few bits. Left out shared records and stuff, like most appaearemces in LC finals without winning, and most goals on aggregate in LC.

• Most consecutive Charity Shield wins: 4, Everton (1984, 1985, 1986 (shared), 1987)

• Most FA Cup final defeats: 8, Everton (1893, 1897, 1907, 1968, 1985, 1986, 1989, 2009)

• Most goals in a season: 60, Dixie Dean (39 matches, for Everton 1927–28)

• Most career hat-tricks: 37, Dixie Dean(Tranmere Rovers, Everton, 1923–1937)

• Most draws overall in the top flight: 1106, Everton

• Most losses overall in the top flight: 1,506, Everton

• City represented with most seasons in top flight: Liverpool. The city has always had a top flight member of either Everton or Liverpool.

• Most top-flight goals scored in total:6929, Everton – to end 2016/17 season.

• Most seasons in top flight overall: 114 seasons, Everton

• Most participants in top flight from one area: During the three consecutive seasons 1919–21, the historic boundaries (pre-1974) of the County of Lancashire had nine participants in the top-flight: Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Burnley, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Oldham Athletic,and Preston North End.
• • During the Premiership era, there were eight participants in the historic county of Lancashire during the 2010–11 season: Blackburn Rovers, Blackpool, Bolton Wanderers, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Wigan Athletic

First football team to record a song was the 1963 title winning side with “E-V-E-R-T-O-N”

Nice list @Groucho.
We'll have to a special ceremony each year when you update the goals, draws etc. figures.
Why not add this season's goals (won't need a calculator sadly).

First football club to set up a charity to support the welfare of past players - the Everton Former Players Foundation - was the first of its kind I believe. In today’s football world of incredible wealth it’s often too easy to forget it wasn’t like this for many.

Don’t think for a moment I worked all that out

Now this is the kind of record I like. Well done Everton.

First club to welcome breastfeeding at their stadium...

...our @Groucho loves his facts.

I suppose there’s a difference between holding a record and being the first to do something. I also thought;

Everton v Aston Villa holds the record for the most played game in top flight football.

Villa will be replaced by the Merseyside Derby if they don't get their act together soon.
