Despite their recent struggles, Everton – originally known as St Domingo's FC before taking their current name from a district in Liverpool in which they played – are one of the most successful clubs in English football history and have had a place in the top-flight ever since 1954.
The club's most successful periods occurred in the mid-60s (winning the championship twice and the FA Cup) and the early 1980s when triumph in the European Cup-Winners Cup was supplemented by two more league titles and another FA Cup win.
Since then, though, 1995's FA Cup triumph for Joe Royle's 'dogs of war' has been the only bright spot. Howard Kendall was unable to rekindle the glory days of the 1980s despite returning twice to the club, and his side only survived relegation on the final day of the 1997/98 season.
Fast Fact: Everton have reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup on a record 23 occasions.
Fast Fact: Everton legend Dixie Dean still holds the record for the most league goals in a season with 60 in 39 matches in the 1927-28 season.
