If you don't know the story, Everton played at Anfield first. In fact Everton won the league title when Anfield was their home. A few years before Liverpool FC was even founded. So why was Everton called Everton, and not Anfield FC? .....I found this to be an interesting read. Why are Everton FC called Everton FC when they have never actually played there?
