This English national record has yet to be broken. From Joe Royle and Neville Southall, to Ted Sagar and the legendary David Watson, Everton has always offered top notch football that is second to none.

It has an all grass pitch, and is noted as the world’s first purpose built football stadium. The stadium has seen much development throughout its existence, and also played host to numerous international fixtures and events. From the FA Cup Final to the 1996 FIFA World Cup, it has been the venue for some of the most historic football matches to date. Although a new stadium in the Kirkby section of Liverpool is being considered, the hearts of Everton and its followers remain at Goodison Park.

Everton FC Manager

David Moyes, Everton Manager, is among several who have shared memorable moments at Goodison Park. The Scottish national joined Everton in March of 2002, after leading Preston North End to several successful finishes four years prior. From Celtic to Bristol City, Moyes took over the club as a seasoned veteran with experience, skill, and determination. He led Everton to a decent placing in his first season, and received the prestigious LMA Manager of The Year award. David continued to bring prominence to the club, by signing noteworthy players and tackling obstacles. Although he lost Wayne Rooney early in his tenure, Moyes surpassed his detractors in the years to come. He advanced Everton into the Champions League, UEFA Cup, FA Cup, and took the LMA Manger of the Year once again. The arrival of Tim Howard a few seasons ago, further cemented David’s legacy as a wise and premier manager in Everton.

Located in Liverpool, and founded in 1878, Everton is the sixth most successful club in British football. Led by current manager, David Moyes, the club has amassed several high profile championships and victories over the years. Everton has won the FA Cup 5 times, the League Championship 9 times, and also won the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in ‘84-’85. The club has a solid foundation, rich in tradition and sportsmanship, and have received near landmark status in English club football. Everton shares a historic rivalry with Liverpool FC, and play in their home ground of Goodison Park.

They recently defeated the MLS Allstars on tour of the US, and have also been playing international friendlies. With the 2009-2010 season underway, Everton looks to dominate the EPL like in years past. Their mere presence on the pitch commands respect from their opponents and fans alike. The team has used many formations in the past, but are now concentrating on a full attack as opposed to long ball. With a very sound offense and defense, they will certainly make waves this season.

Everton also has the honor of having nine of their former players inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame. Earlier this year, we saw Ray Wilson inducted, and this further reinforced the legitimacy of Everton as a true dominant club in English football. Everton FC, is a powerhouse, with an ongoing legacy of nearly unmatched credentials and attributes. At the start of the ‘03-’04 season, several former Everton players were voted in by club supporters, as the ‘Greatest Ever Team’. That season also saw the club celebrating their 125th anniversary. The club has also received several First Division and Second Division honors, in addition to being The World Team Of The Year in 1985, courtesy of World Soccer Magazine.

Portsmouth Football Club Overview

Portsmouth F.C. originated in 1898, in a back garden meeting between John Brickwood, an owner of a local brewery, and Frank Bretell, the team’s first manager, where they put together the foundations of a football team. Pompey started in the Southern League in 1899, having a very successful first year, ending the season in second place.

Portsmouth F.C. is an English Premier League football club from Portsmouth, England. They are popularly known as “Pompey” but also have the less common nickname of “The Blues.” Their fans are known as the “Blue Army.”

Since the inaugural season, there have been several ups and downs for Portsmouth. They have faced financial difficulty and regulation. But, on the other hand, they have enjoyed many successes. In 1939 they beat the Wolverhampton Wanderers in a convincing 4-1 win for the FA Cup. In 1948-49 they were the favourites to win the Football League/FA Cup double. Though they lost the FA Cup in the semi-final, they won the English League that season. Then, the following year, they won the English League again, being one of five clubs to win back to back titles since World War II.

Portsmouth FC Manager

Portsmouth’s current manager is Paul Hart. He has been at Portsmouth since spring of 2007 when he was placed as Director of Youth Operations. In February 2009, Pompey’s first team manager Tony Adams, was sacked, and Hart was given his place on a temporary basis. In July 2009, after ending the 2008-09 with much improvement of the team, and safely avoiding regulation, Hart was appointed the permanent manager.

Paul Hart has been around football his whole life, being the son of Johnny Hart, a football player and manager. Paul was a football player as well, playing as a defender. He played for several different clubs including Blackpool and Leeds United. His playing days ended, and his managing days began in 1988, when he became manager of Chesterfield. He has managed several teams over the years, eventually landing at Portsmouth.

Portsmouth FC Stadium

Pompey’s home pitch is Fratton Park, and has been since the origination of the club in 1898. The front facade of Fratton Park is known for its Tudor design, fitting in nicely with the architecture of Portsmouth. The stadium runs from east to west, sort of an anomaly in stadiums. There are four stands, each with seating. The stadium holds a capacity of around 20,200, which marks the lowest capacity of any Premier League stadium.

As expected of a stadium well over 100-years old, it has long been showing signs of wear and tear. Several different plans have been made and dropped to either build a new stadium, or renovate and add on to the existing one. As it stands now, they plan to rotate the pitch 90 degrees to free up space and add additional seating. Ultimately the seating capacity should reach 30,000 in 2010.

Pompey’s main rival is Southampton, though they are currently two league levels below Portsmouth, in League 1.

After the amazing back to back championships, Pompey began to struggle. They got regulated as far as the fourth division and nearly went into bankruptcy. Finally, in 2002, Portsmouth made it into the English Premier League under the direction of renowned manager Harry Redknapp. In 2008, Redknapp led the club to its second FA Cup with a victory over Cardiff City. That victory gave them an invitation to the 2008-09 UEFA Cup, Portsmouth’s first time playing European football.
