Merseyside Derby
Friendly Derby
City or region Liverpool (England)
First contested 13 October 1894
Teams involved Everton, Liverpool

The Merseyside Derby is the name given to any association football match contested between Everton and Liverpool football clubs, the two most successful clubs from the city of Liverpool in England. It is the longest currently running top flight derby in England, having been at that level since 1962 when Liverpool were promoted to the First Division (later the Premier League) for the last time.

Traditionally, the Merseyside Derby was referred to as The Friendly Derby because of the large number of families who have both Reds and Blues supporters in them.[1]

It is one of the few local derbies that does not enforce fan segregation[2]. With so many families and friends supporting both clubs, it is not uncommon to see Evertonians and Liverpudlians sitting together during the derby.[citation needed] The 1984 Milk Cup final at Wembley had the strange sight of almost all sections of the ground being mixed and combined chants of "Merseyside, Merseyside" and "Are you watching Manchester?.."[citation needed]

History

There are a number of reasons for the "friendly derby" tag. Firstly the clubs are situated in the north of the City and very close to each other (less than a mile), with only Stanley Park separating the two. Everton actually played at Anfield, which is now Liverpool's ground before a rent dispute with the ground owners saw Everton relocate to Goodison Park and the formation of Liverpool F.C. From 1902 to 1932 the two clubs even shared the same matchday programme. Today there are no evident geographical, political, social, or religious divides as in other derbies, although for many years a sectarian divide did exist within the city (Kilfoyle, 2000) it is unclear how (if at all) this influenced the support bases of the two clubs and more recent research has indicated that it was more likely to be a political allegiance that influenced support [3]. During the 1950s and 1960s Everton were coined as the Catholic club mainly as a result of successful Irish players Tommy Eglington, Peter Farrell and Jimmy O'Neill as well as manager Johnny Carey. This, in turn caused Liverpool to be thought of as Protestant club. However it should be noted that this notional divide was never seen as a basis for supporting a certain side as is the case with Celtic and Rangers. In truth both teams have strong support from all denominations as well as many fans from Presbyterian North Wales and Catholic Ireland. Most importantly, the actual clubs themselves did not act to strengthen sectarian divides and in fact both clubs stem from a Methodist origin.

Unlike other local derbies (such as the Bristol, Birmingham and Stoke derbies, where the clubs are separated by long distances across their towns) violence between Evertonians and Liverpudlians is a rarity, but in the fallout from the Heysel Stadium disaster, fan relationships became strained, with Everton fans blaming Liverpool hooligans for their subsequent ban from the European club competitions. However, relations improved after the Hillsborough disaster when both sets of fans rallied together, with Evertonians even joining in on the boycott of the Sun while Everton and Liverpool scarves were intertwined stretching across Stanley Park between Anfield and Goodison Park. Recently, after the murder of 11 year old Rhys Jones in a gun crime incident in 2007, Liverpool Football Club invited the victim's parents and older brother to Anfield for a Champions League match. The Z-Cars theme tune Johnny Todd, the song which Everton traditionally run out to was played for the first time ever at Anfield while the victim's family stood on the pitch wearing Everton shirts and scarves. A standing ovation was given before You'll Never Walk Alone was played.

The city of Liverpool is statistically the most successful football city in England with Everton and Liverpool winning a combined 27 league titles, and there has never been a season without one of either Everton or Liverpool competing in the top flight. Both clubs have rich histories, with Everton being one of the twelve founder member clubs of the Football League. Everton have only been relegated twice and have competed in over 100 seasons of top flight football, more than any other English club. To date Everton have won 9 League Championships, 5 FA Cups and 1 European Cup Winners Cup. Liverpool hold the current joint record of the most League Championships with 18. They also have won the European Cup 5 times, more than any other English club, the FA Cup on 7 occasions and three UEFA Cups.

Since 1892 the clubs have appeared almost every year in the Liverpool Senior Cup, although Liverpool, Everton and Tranmere Rovers only field reserve sides against the likes of Prescot Cables, Southport and Marine. Everton hold 45 titles while Liverpool have won 39.

Matches between Everton/Liverpool and Tranmere Rovers, based in Birkenhead (on the other side of the River Mersey) are also classed as Merseyside derbies, but Tranmere have never been in the top division, so competitive matches are a rarity. Pre-season friendlies are often played but the dislike between Rovers and the two Merseyside Giants stems from purely geographical reasons rather than footballing tradition.

Everton and Liverpool also have affiliated women's teams playing in the Women's Premier League, although only Everton ladies have won titles in the women's top division.

Modern day derbies

During the 1960s Liverpool and Everton were regular winners of domestic trophies, but while Liverpool went from strength to strength in the 1970s and 1980s, Everton went through a relatively barren spell after their 1970 title triumph and did not win a major trophy for the next 14 years.

However, Everton started to emerge as a serious threat to Liverpool's dominance of the domestic scene following the appointment of Howard Kendall as manager at the start of the 1981-82 season. The first Merseyside derby that Kendall oversaw was at Anfield on 7 November, when his side lost 3-1 to Bob Paisley's. [1] This saw Liverpool standing seventh in the league and Everton 13th. [2] An identical scoreline followed in the return game at Goodison Park in late March, by which time Liverpool had overcome a dismal start to the season to muscle in on a title race which they eventually won, while Everton were still mid table. [3]

In 1982-83, the final season of Bob Paisley's management before he retired to make way for Joe Fagan, Liverpool were champions once again with Everton finishing mid table, and the most notable of the two derbies occured in early November when Liverpool triumphed 5-0 at Goodison Park. The return match at Anfield in mid March brought a goalless draw. [4]

1983-84 was the season when Everton (who won the FA Cup at the end of the campaign) really started to emerge as a serious threat to Liverpool. Though Liverpool won the league title and Everton still couldn't even make the top five, Liverpool needed a replay to see off Everton 1-0 in the League Cup final at Wembley. The Anfield derby in early November saw Liverpool triumph 3-0, while the clash at Goodison Park four months later ended in a 1-1 draw. [5]

The 1984-85 season began with a Liverpool derby in the FA Charity Shield at Wembley, when league champions Liverpool faced FA Cup winners Everton in a game which Everton won 1-0 due to an own goal by Bruce Grobbelaar. The first league clash came on 20 October 1984, when a 1-0 win for Everton at Anfield saw Howard Kendall's team occupy fourth place in the league and show signs of challenging for the title for the first time in his four seasons in charge, while Liverpool were a lowly 17th and just 2 points outside the relegation zone. [6] Liverpool's final game of the season came on 23 May when they lost 1-0 to Everton (who still had two games left to play) at Goodison Park. Everton had been crowned champions by this stage, while Liverpool had rallied since their terrible start to the season to occupy second place. [7] [8]

1985-86 was perhaps the most exciting season for the fans of both clubs, as Liverpool and Everton battled it out for both the league title and the FA Cup. The first Merseyside derby of the season came at Goodison Park on 21 September 1985 and was won 3-2 by Liverpool, who stood second behind Manchester United while Everton occupied sixth place. [9] Everton triumphed 2-0 in the return match at Anfield five months later, by which time Everton had just taken over from Manchester United as league leaders and Liverpool were eight points behind them in second place. [10] The climax to this exciting campaign came at Wembley Stadium when Liverpool and Everton contested the first all Merseyside FA Cup final on 10 May 1986. An early goal by Gary Lineker suggested that Everton could gain revenge on Liverpool for beating them to the league title by defeating them in the FA Cup final, but in the second half the tables were turned as a double from Ian Rush and another goal from Craig Johnston made Liverpool only the fifth English club to complete the double. [11]

The FA Charity Shield for 1986 was shared between Liverpool and Everton, who drew 1-1 at Wembley, but the first league derby of the season between the two clubs didn't happen until late November in a goalless draw at Goodison Park. Both clubs were challenging for the title at this stage alongside Arsenal (leaders), Nottingham Forest and unlikely contenders including Luton Town and Coventry City. [12] The League Cup quarter final on 21 January 1987 saw Liverpool win 1-0 at Goodison Park. The Anfield derby in late April saw Liverpool triumph 3-1, but it wasn't enough to prevent Everton from winning the title within the next couple of weeks. [13]

The 1986-87 season was perhaps the last time that Everton overshadowed Liverpool, though they did come close in 1989 when the two sides met at Wembley for the second all Merseyside FA Cup final in four seasons. The match went into extra time before Liverpool triumphed 3-2, with Ian Rush (twice) and John Aldridge scoring for Liverpool and both of Everton's goals coming from Stuart McCall. [14]

By 1990-91, Everton were no longer generally considering as a leading English playing side (finishing ninth that season having started the season near the foot of the table), while Liverpool finished second in the league, but the campaign still brought one of the most pulsating clashes between the two clubs. Liverpool and Everton were drawn for the FA Cup fifth round at Anfield on 17 February 1991. The match ended in a goalless draw, and the replay three days later ended in a thrilling 4-4 draw at Goodison Park, in which Peter Beardsley scored twice. 1990-91 was Kenny Dalglish's last season as Liverpool manager, as he resigned two days after the 4-4 draw with Everton. It was also the last season of "replays of replays" as penalties after extra time took over as the competition's ultimate tie winner decider for the 1991-92 season. The second replay ended with a 1-0 win for Everton on 27 February, and ended Liverpool's double hopes. [15]

The close season of 1991 saw Peter Beardsley move from Liverpool to Everton, followed within a year by defender Gary Ablett, causing more tension in the Merseyside derby, though the first couple of years after their transfers saw Liverpool and Everton firmly overtaken by Manchester United and the likes of Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal as the biggest challengers in English football. On 7 December 1992, Everton defeated Liverpool 2-1 at Goodison Park in a game where Peter Beardsley became only the second man in history to score for both clubs in Merseyside derbies. [16]

The 1993-94 Merseyside derby at Anfield saw Liverpool defeat Everton 2-1, not having much effect for a mid table Liverpool side but increasing the risk of relegation (a battle which was ultimately won) for Liverpool. Perhaps the most notable event of this game was the winning goal by Robbie Fowler, who turned 19 the following month and was one of the most promising young players in England at the time. [17]

The next notable Merseyside derby came on 18 October 1997, when Everton triumphed 2-0 at Anfield in a victory that ultimately saved them from relegation (they only stayed up by having a greater goal difference than Bolton Wanderers) and helped end Liverpool's title bid. [18]

By the end of the 2001-02, Liverpool had finished above Everton in the league for 15 seasons in succession, but 2002-03 saw Everton showing signs of eclipsing them for the first time in years. After a brilliant run of form saw Liverpool top the Premier League in October, an 11-match winless league run followed their 2-0 home win over West Ham United in early November and during that barren spell they drew 0-0 at home to an Everton side who were actually above them and looking like qualifying for Europe after several seasons of persistent relegation battles. However, they were on course for their fifth place finish when they next met Everton on 19 April and won 2-1 at Goodison Park, a result which pushed their neighbours towards seventh place and narrowly deprive them of European football. [19]

In 2004-05, Everton finished fourth in the league and Liverpool came fifth - the first time since Everton's 1987 title win that Liverpool had finished below them. Everton gave their neighbours a reminder of how far they had progressed under the management of David Moyes with a 1-0 win at Goodison Park on 11 December 2004, though Liverpool won the return match at Anfield 2-1 three months later. [20]

Everton had a setback and finished mid table in 2005-06, while Liverpool's compensation for their prolonged title wait came in the form of a narrow FA Cup final triumph. And Liverpool triumphed 3-1 in both of the Merseyside derbies that season, giving their neighbours a reminder that they still had some way to go before they could have any real claim to being the stronger of the two Merseyside teams. [21]

In 2006-07, Everton recovered to finish in the top six, while Liverpool finished in the top four, and there was an early season triumph for the blue half of Merseyside as Everton crushed Liverpool 3-0 at Goodsion Park in early September. They also held them to a goalless draw at Anfield in early February and helped hold them behind pace setters Manchester United and Chelsea. [22]

Liverpool did the double over Everton in 2007-08, securing a top four finish and Champions League qualification and leaving Everton to settle for a UEFA Cup place. [23]

Current scorers: Liverpool's Steven Gerrard and Everton's Tim Cahill joined the list of scorers of four or more Derby goals on the same day when both scored in a 1-1 draw at Anfield on Monday January 19 2009. They are the only current players on the chart. Cahill is also the only non-British player to feature. Other current players who could join this list are Liverpool's Fernando Torres and Dirk Kuyt (3 goals each), and Everton's Dan Gosling (1).

More goals than years: Liverpool's Fred Howe and Everton's Tommy Lawton bear the curious distinctions of scoring more goals than they actually spent in years on Merseyside. Howe scoring five goals in three years and Lawton four goals in three years.

Hat-tricks: The first derby hat-trick was scored by Everton's Alex "Sandy" Young who got 4 in the 1904 5-1 win at Goodison. Other Evertonians to manage hat-ticks include Parker in 1914 and Dixie Dean twice, in 1928 and 1931, the last Everton player to net a treble. Liverpool hat-tricks have come from Chambers (1922), Forshaw (1925), Barton (1933), and Howe (4 goals in 1935). Almost 50 years passed before the next derby hat-trick, scored by Ian Rush, who got 4 in a 5-0 win at Goodison in 1982. Rush also scored 3 in the Super Cup Final first leg in 1986. Curiously, of all the league hat-tricks, only the first (Young's) and so far the last (Rush's) were managed at Goodison: all the others were at Anfield.

Own goals: Sandy Brown's famous own goal in Everton's championship winning 1969-70 season was, amazingly only the second own goal in the history of the fixture, the first having been scored by Balmer (Everton) in 1902. Since then 6 Evertonians have been "credited" with an own-goal, including two in the same match at Anfield in 1972. There have only been 3 Liverpool own goals. Joseph Yobo's unlucky deflection at Goodison in 2009-10 is the most recent of all derby-day own-goals.

Scoring in consecutive matches: Between May and September 1986, Ian Rush scored for Liverpool in 4 consecutive derbies, none of them League games (Cup final, Charity shield and two Super Cup finals). Several players have scored in 3 consecutive games: Hardman (E, 1905-06), Freeman (E, 1909-10), Parkinson (L, 1910-11), King (E, 1978-79), Lineker (E, 1985-86), Barnes (L, 1989-90) and Fowler (L, 1995-96).

Youngest derby goal scorer: Although difficult to verify, since birthdates of early players are not known, the youngest derby goal scorer is probably Everton's Danny Cadamarteri who scored the winner at Anfield 6 days after his 18th birthday, in October 1997.

Switching sides - "Crossing the Park"

Despite the huge rivalry, Liverpool have completed more direct transfers with Everton than any other club.[citation needed] Famously however, Liverpool did not buy directly from Everton between 1959 and 2000, while there was a similar "freeze" in the other direction between 1961 and 1982.

It is often mistakenly claimed that Dave Hickson is the only player to have played for "all three Merseyside clubs". In fact he is the third player, along with John Heydon and Frank Mitchell to have played for all three Merseyside league clubs still in existence. But we should not forget New Brighton, Football league members from 1923-51, for whom Bill Lacey and Neil McBain played, both having also played for Everton and Liverpool. And to complete a list of six players who have played for three different Merseyside clubs, John Whitehead also played for Bootle in their one year as a league team (1892-3), before they were replaced in Division 2 by local rivals, Liverpool FC.

The list below shows transfer dates and fees, where known

As well as players "crossing the park", Everton's first ever manager W. E. Barclay stayed on at Anfield after Everton moved to Goodison Park to become Liverpool's first manager.

Scored for both sides in a derby

Only two players have scored for both sides in a derby:

  • David Johnson famously scored on his derby debut for Everton in November 1971, then scored two derby goals during his spell with Liverpool, the last of them on 1 March 1980.
  • Peter Beardsley added to his tally of 6 derby goals for Liverpool with one for Everton on 7 December 1992.

Notable games

The clubs first met in the Liverpool Senior Cup final which Liverpool won 1-0 in 1893. However this was an amateur match and is not counted in either clubs records an official Merseyside derby.

The first ever League meeting was in the 1894/95 season when Everton won 3-0 at Goodison Park, it was only at Liverpool's sixth attempt that they beat Everton with a 3-1 win in 1897/98 at Anfield.

The FA Cup 5th Round tie, on the 11 March 1967 at Goodison Park, was watched by 64,318 fans, and a further 40,169 at Anfield on giant screen, making a total of 104,487. Everton won 1-0, with Alan Ball scoring the winner.

The 1966 Charity Shield saw Everton play Liverpool at Goodison Park with the latter winning 1-0. Before kick off, the League Championship which had been won by Liverpool was paraded around the pitch along with the FA Cup which Everton had won. Liverpool's Roger Hunt and Everton's Ray Wilson both World Cup winners carried the Jules Rimet Trophy around the field for a lap of honour.

The first meeting between the two sides at Wembley Stadium came in the final of the 1984 League Cup with Liverpool eventually winning a replay (at Maine Road, Manchester) after the first tie at Wembley was drawn.

Later that year the clubs met again at Wembley Stadium in the FA Charity Shield. Everton emerged as the victors thanks to a Bruce Grobbelaar own goal.

The 1986 and 1989 FA Cup finals are still the only Merseyside derby finals in the competition to date with Liverpool victorious on both occasions, 3-1 and 3-2 (AET) respectively.

On 23 April 1977 the two sides met in the semi-final of the FA Cup at Maine Road, Manchester. Although Liverpool took the lead twice, Everton fought back twice, and appeared to have scored a winner when, with three minutes to go, Bryan Hamilton turned in a cross from Ronnie Goodlass, only to see the goal chalked off by referee Clive Thomas.

6 November 1982 saw Liverpool defeat Everton 5-0 at Goodison Park with Ian Rush scoring 4 of the goals.

March 1988 Liverpool were unbeaten in 29 league games from the start of the season (then a joint record) when a Wayne Clarke inspired Everton won 1-0 at Goodison.

On 20 February 1991, an epic 4-4 FA Cup replay saw Everton come from behind 4 times. It is generally regarded as one of the greatest Merseyside derbies ever. Liverpool's manager Kenny Dalglish subsequently resigned, with Everton winning the second replay the following week.[16]

The 2006 Goodison Park derby saw Everton beating Liverpool 3-0, scoring three goals for the first time in a league derby since 1966, and the first time at Goodison since 1904 with goals from Tim Cahill and a double from (then) club record signing Andy Johnson. This was only Everton's second win over Liverpool in seven years and took them to the top of the Premier League.

In the February 2009 FA Cup 4th round replay, Liverpool and Everton were held 0-0 again and forced the game into extra time. Everton's teenage substitute Dan Gosling managed to break the dead lock with a dramatic winner in the 118th minute.[17] The Toffees managed to reach their first final in 14 years.

Doing the Double

It is quite rare for either team to beat the other in both league games in one season. Liverpool have managed it 12 times and Everton 9 times.

With cup games, replays and so on, the two have often met three or four times a season, but in the 1986-87 season they played each other six times: starting with a 1-1 draw at Wembley in the Charity Shield, there were the two league games, the two-legged Screen Sport Super Cup Final (held over from the previous season), and a League Cup 5th round tie. Despite the fact that Everton finished the season as champions, they couldn't beat Liverpool that year, with 4 losses and 2 draws. A combined total of 281,356 spectators saw the six matches. The following season they met a further four times, being paired in both cups: honours were even with 2 wins each.
