John Rowlands’s book should be of interest to all football historians and he says in the introduction that Everton have been at the forefront of a number of important footballing developments. The club chairman pointed out in 1929 that Everton had pioneered the use of goal nets; were the first club to have a programme listing home and visiting players, giving their numbers and listing any changes on a board; the first to show results of their games on a telegraphic indicator; the first to set aside one League match as a benefit for a player – and the first to guarantee a £500 benefit.

This book in the Images of Sport series charts the history of Everton from
their early days at Stanley Park through until 1946. It illustrates
the highlights of the period from 1878 to 1946, recalling FA Cup and
Football League triumphs as well as providing insights into the everyday
life of players and the club. The book is particularly strong on the
1930s but also on the early history of the club.
