Then at Anfield, Everton's third ground."<BR/><BR/>There's more here: http://www.toffeeweb.com/club/folklore/origins.asp#Toffees<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your fun and informative web site!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-77819765665072180712008-09-29T22:59:00.000+10:002008-09-29T22:59:00.000+10:00Thanks LizLouka - fixed!
