Historical background

It is said that 125 years ago, Everton players gathered in a candy store to chat and eat sweets, especially toffee, after training and competition. Over time, "toffee" has become synonymous with the team. This century-old candy store is also a symbol of Everton, and the nickname "Toffee" was once very suitable for Everton's century-old store: it fell into the abyss of demotion every year and narrowly escaped the disaster in the season. Dead or alive, the so-called millipede, dead but not stiff, very sticky!

Orange-filled toffee

"Toffee" Everton Club has a long and proud history, which makes them have a respectable position in the history of English football. 1878, Everton Club was formally established, 14 years earlier than their old rival Liverpool. In the 1920s, Everton established its reputation as a strong English team. Everton, as one of the founders of the League, won the championship in the third year of the League, namely 189 1. Before World War II, Everton won four league titles and two FA cups. During the 1927- 1928 season, the legendary Dean scored 60 goals in one season, which not only helped Everton win the league championship that year, but also set a single-season goal record at that time.

Toffee also refers to Everton, the Premier League team.

Everton's most popular nickname is "Toffee" or "Toffee Man". After Everton moved to Goodison Park, the nickname spread widely. There are many explanations about the origin of this nickname. Everton has a well-known toffee candy store "Noblett Mom's", which specializes in all kinds of desserts. The location of the store is directly opposite the Prince Rupert Tower in the Everton team logo. Before the competition, it has gradually become a tradition for toffee girls to throw free Everton mints in the stands. Everton got its name "Toffee". Another view is that a toffee workshop run by Mrs Boushall is the real source of this nickname, because it is close to the Queen's head and the club often held meetings here in the early days.
