In 2006, England, managed by Sven-Göran Eriksson, headed to the World Cup in Germany with one of their most talented squads of the modern era. Featuring stars like David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, and a young Theo Walcott, expectations were high. England advanced from the group stage with wins over Paraguay and Trinidad & Tobago plus a draw with Sweden. They edged Ecuador 1–0 in the last 16 thanks to a Beckham free-kick. In the quarter-finals, Rooney was sent off against Portugal, and after a 0–0 draw, England lost on penalties, continuing their knockout heartbreak.

In 1990, England, managed by Bobby Robson, enjoyed their best World Cup run since 1966. At Italia ’90, they advanced from the group stage after a draw with Ireland, a late win over Egypt, and a 0–0 with the Netherlands. In the knockout rounds, David Platt’s extra-time volley beat Belgium, and a penalty shootout win over Cameroon (3–2) followed a dramatic 3–2 game. In the semi-final against West Germany, Gary Lineker’s late goal forced extra time, but England lost on penalties after misses from Stuart Pearce and Chris Waddle. Paul Gascoigne’s tears became iconic, symbolising England’s heartbreak.

After the glory years of the mid-80s, Everton entered a transitional phase between 1988 and 1990. Managed by Colin Harvey, the Toffees still boasted stalwarts like Neville Southall, Kevin Ratcliffe, and Graeme Sharp, alongside new faces such as Pat Nevin, Stuart McCall, and Tony Cottee (then a club-record signing). In 1988/89, they finished 8th in the First Division and reached the FA Cup Final, narrowly losing 3–2 to Liverpool in an emotional Merseyside derby at Wembley. By 1989/90, inconsistency saw Everton slump to 6th, lacking the dominance of earlier years. The era symbolised a steady decline after earlier success.

In the early Premier League era, Everton endured two difficult seasons. Under Howard Kendall in 1992/93, the Toffees struggled for consistency, finishing 13th, with only Tony Cottee and Peter Beardsley providing regular attacking spark. The following season, 1993/94, results worsened, and despite the efforts of veterans like Neville Southall and emerging talent Graham Stuart, Everton spent much of the campaign in relegation danger. Kendall resigned in December 1993, replaced by Mike Walker. A dramatic late surge, including Stuart’s vital final-day goals against Wimbledon, secured survival. These seasons were marked by instability, fading squad depth, and growing fan frustration.

Everton’s 1994/95 season was a dramatic tale of survival and redemption. After a dreadful start under Mike Walker, the team languished at the bottom of the Premier League. Walker was sacked in November and replaced by Joe Royle, whose arrival transformed the club’s fortunes.

Royle’s “Dogs of War” side, built on grit and determination, climbed clear of relegation and went on an unforgettable FA Cup run. Everton defeated Manchester United 1–0 in the final at Wembley, thanks to Paul Rideout’s header, securing their first major trophy since 1987.

They finished 15th in the league, but the Cup triumph restored pride and stability to Goodison Park.

The 1985 Everton home shirt is a legendary piece of football history, symbolizing the club’s greatest ever season. Designed by Le Coq Sportif, this jersey features the classic royal blue design with white trims on the collar and sleeves. The embroidered Everton crest and NEC sponsor across the chest complete the timeless look, making it a cherished piece for fans of the Toffees.

Everton’s 1984/85 season was the finest in the club’s history — a golden year under manager Howard Kendall. The Toffees achieved a remarkable First Division and European Cup Winners’ Cup double, and narrowly missed out on a treble.

Everton won the league title convincingly, finishing 13 points clear of Liverpool, with stars like Neville Southall, Kevin Ratcliffe, Trevor Steven, Peter Reid, Graeme Sharp, and Andy Gray forming a superbly balanced team.

In Europe, they lifted the Cup Winners’ Cup, beating Rapid Vienna 3–1 in the final. The only blemish was a 1–0 FA Cup Final loss to Manchester United, but the season remains the pinnacle of Everton’s modern era.

In the early Premier League era, Everton endured two difficult seasons. Under Howard Kendall in 1992/93, the Toffees struggled for consistency, finishing 13th, with only Tony Cottee and Peter Beardsley providing regular attacking spark. The following season, 1993/94, results worsened, and despite the efforts of veterans like Neville Southall and emerging talent Graham Stuart, Everton spent much of the campaign in relegation danger. Kendall resigned in December 1993, replaced by Mike Walker. A dramatic late surge, including Stuart’s vital final-day goals against Wimbledon, secured survival. These seasons were marked by instability, fading squad depth, and growing fan frustration.

In 1994/95, Everton, managed first by Mike Walker and later Joe Royle, endured a mixed but ultimately memorable season. They struggled in the Premier League, finishing 15th, narrowly avoiding relegation. However, under Royle’s “Dogs of War” approach, the squad showed grit and resilience, with key players like Neville Southall, Duncan Ferguson, Paul Rideout, Anders Limpar, and Dave Watson stepping up. The highlight was winning the FA Cup, defeating Manchester United 1–0 in the final thanks to Rideout’s header, securing Everton’s first major trophy since 1987. Despite league struggles, the season is remembered as a cup triumph that lifted Goodison spirits.

Everton’s 1997/98 season was one of the most nerve-wracking in the club’s history, ending in Premier League survival on goal difference. Managed initially by Howard Kendall in his third spell at the club, Everton struggled for form and consistency throughout the campaign.

Despite the efforts of players like Duncan Ferguson, Nick Barmby, and goalkeeper Thomas Myhre, results were poor, and goals were hard to come by. On the final day, a 1–1 draw with Coventry City at Goodison Park — combined with Bolton Wanderers’ defeat to Chelsea — kept Everton up on goal difference.

It was a season of relief rather than success, highlighting the club’s growing instability in the late 1990s.
