From Glory to a Whole New Ball Game: Everton 1985-1994.

There is also a large format (Trade) Paperback for £22 separate listing.

In May 1994, Everton Football Club found themselves on the brink of disaster - an outcome no one could have imagined just a few years earlier. More than three decades after John Moores set out to make Everton the dominant force in English football, the club faced the grim prospect of relegation in the final match of the 1993/94 season against Wimbledon. 

 

Once known as the ‘Mersey Millionaires,' Everton had fallen to ‘Mersey Mediocrities.’

 

This downfall was unthinkable just nine years earlier, when Howard Kendall had led the club to the League Championship and European supremacy. However, Everton became collateral damage in the aftermath of the Heysel disaster, caught between English football authorities and UEFA. When Kendall departed in 1987 after securing a second league title, the club began a steep decline, leading to a period of intense instability that eventually threatened their long-held status in English football’s top flight.
