Tony; thanks for another fascinating insight into the very early days. Have you any idea why the club had the opportunity to go on tour in the middle of the season?

Bill, The 1890-91 Football League consisted of just 12 clubs so the Everton fixture secretary was always busy looking for suitable fixtures to fill the vacant weekends. Being invited to visit the Corinthians was an opportunity not to be missed.
