Goodison Park

About

Goodison Park has been the proud home of Everton Football Club since 1892, standing as one of the most historic stadiums in English football. Known affectionately as “The Grand Old Lady,” it has hosted more top-flight matches than any other ground in the country. Nestled in Walton, just north of Liverpool city centre, Goodison is famed for its intimate atmosphere, steeped in tradition and community spirit. From the roar of the Gwladys Street End to the rituals of matchday pubs and chippies nearby, the stadium has been a heartbeat of local life for generations. In 2025, Everton begins a new chapter with a move to Bramley-Moore Dock, but Goodison’s legacy endures—etched into football history and the memories of countless fans. Its final season is being marked with tributes and exhibitions that celebrate the soul of a place where football was more than a game—it was a way of life.
