Talk:List of Everton F.C. records and statistics

Untitled
Has anyone ever heard of a John Oshea playing for Everton..possibly in the seasons 1978-1982? I played with him a few times and he swore he'd played Everton first team!! Andy Cowan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.202.113.253 (talk) 09:08, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Alex "Sandy" Young
There are two entries in the list of all-time goal scorers for Alex "Sandy" Young. The Golden Vision of the 1960s was never called Sandy (that name was reserved for Sandy Brown) and my memory tells me he was usually referred to as Alec rather than Alex. Someone needs to check up which line in the table is correct. maybe there was another Alex Young in another era? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haroldsomers (talk • contribs) 15:51, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Fewest League Defeats
The page states we were defeated only once in the 1890-1891 season, while in reality it was 7 times. 1 was the number of draws that season, that must've caused the confusion. (Even the link to the 1890-1891 season confirms it.)

This means the year is wrong as well, because in the preceding season we've lost only five league games out of 22. I don't know if 1889-1890 was the season with the fewest league defeats but definitely fewer than 90-91. Biziclop (talk) 11:48, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Premier League records
I've removed separate Premier League records - distinct from Football League - as English football wasn't reset in 1992. Dancarney (talk) 14:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

False records
A number of false records have been placed in this article in the past and even after I delete them they've eventually reappeared. I think it's because various Everton fan sites spread these myths so want to clarify the truth here to keep this article accurate.

1. Everton were NOT the first team to wear shirt numbers. I've no idea where such a myth comes from, but the first teams were arsenal and Chelsea in 1928. Source: http://www.chelseafc.com/page/StatisticsDetail/0,,10268~1604159,00.html

2. Point one obviously means Dixie Dean was not the first number 9 in 1933.

3. The first televised match did NOT involve Everton, it occurred in 1937 between Arsenal and Arsenal reserves: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/funny_old_game/2260280.stm

4. Everton were NOT the first club to install nets - this development first occurred at Nottingham Forest: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/blue-plaque-for-man-who-invented-football-goal-net-707003.html

Transfer records
Why if the values are in pounds are they not in numerical order from highest to lowest? I appreciate someone may have used Euros, or inflation, at one point, but that list makes no sense as it is without clarification.

MANAGERIAL AWARDS
Surely, Manager of the Year/Season awards existed prior to the advent of the Prem? HK would probably have been a contender for one or two! Gwladys24 (talk) 16:00, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
