If I was building a ‘Fantasy Football’ team, based on players in the English elite during the 1980’s and 1990’s, Neville Southall would be my goalkeeper. He played on seven hundred and fifty occasions for Everton and was their most decorated player – ever. In his time at Everton, Neville hardly missed a game and in all their time at Goodison, Everton hardly had a season outside the topflight of English football. Goodison Park is a proper riveted iron, brick, wood and old fashioned stadium. And it’s still there – for now. It cost £3,000 to build and still displays a stand designed by the legendary Archibald Leach. It’s the one with the blue truss and node frame system. There is also a church in one corner of the ground. St Luke’s is wedged between the Goodison Road and Gwladys Street stands. Goodison is known by some as ‘The Grand Old Lady’ and this is indeed a fitting name. For below the modern overcoat and shoes, her clothes are vintage and classy, well-tailored and made to last. But sadly, one day soon, she will be pensioned off together with all these memories, hopes, dreams and ambitions beneath the hammer and cutting torch, and elsewhere by one more soulless ‘One Size Fits All’ modern stadium. Shame.
