29 June 1930 - Cliff Britton transferred to Everton from Bristol Rovers. Britton made 242 appearances for the club between 1930 and 1945.

2 July 1998 - Walter Smith announced as Everton manager. Many thought Smith, the former Glasgow Rangers manager, was destined to take over at Sheffield Wednesday.

This proved to seal the deal and Smith was announced as the new Everton manager. See Walter Smith memorabilia.
