Hello, plastic dog. Some interesing facts for non Everton fans:
How many Everton fans will know that Everton football clubs nickname was originally “The Black Watch” ? Well it goes way back to when the football club was formed, in those days shirt colours were not very well regulated and all sorts of colours were worn. In order to solve this problem Everton decided to dye their football shirts black with a red diagonal stripe to add a bit of colour. The resultant shirt was similar to the Black Watch uniform of the Highland Regiment so their first nickname was born.
Everton of course eventually changed to a royal blue football kit and an obvious nickname followed – The Blues, they are still known as this but their most commonly accepted nickname is The Toffees.
I used to know a lady who was an Everton supporter although she knew nothing about football, far less than even me
She was christened in Marks and Spencers. At the time it was the temporary Anglican Cathedral which was eventually replaced by M and S.
