Dick, Kerr Ladies set record attendance - 1920
It has been 105 years since Goodison Park hosted a special match.
Dick, Kerr Ladies and St Helens Ladies faced each other at Christmas 1920 to raise funds for the Unemployed Ex Servicemen’s Distress Fund, and people came out in their thousands to watch the game.
The match attracted 53,000 fans, which held the attendance record for a women’s club game in the United Kingdom for over a century. It was broken by the 2023 FA Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester United, with 77,390 in attendance.
Dick, Kerr Ladies gave the supporters plenty to shout about after sealing a 4-0 victory.
Dean hits hat-trick to reach 60 goals - 1928
Has English football ever seen a better goalscorer than Dixie Dean?
His record of 60 league goals in a single season still stands today, and it was at Goodison Park where history was made.
Dean needed a hat-trick on the final day of the season against Arsenal to set the new benchmark and leapfrog George Camsell into the history books.
The Everton striker completed his hat-trick with eight minutes to go in a game that finished in a 3-3 draw, and the feat was sealed with a kiss from a fan who ran onto the pitch to congratulate the club icon.

Everton defeat Bayern in Cup Winners' Cup - 1985
The greatest night at Goodison?
After Everton had recorded an impressive goalless draw in the first leg at Bayern Munich, it was time for Merseyside to take centre stage.
With nearly 50,000 Evertonians in attendance that night, Howard Kendall's men delivered a performance for the ages in the Cup Winners' Cup semi-final second leg.
Graeme Sharp, Andy Gray and Trevor Steven scored as the Toffees sealed a 3-1 victory over the German giants to progress into the final, where they went on to beat Rapid Vienna and lift the European trophy.
Kendall's team also won the league title that season, with what many Everton fans consider to be the club's finest ever side.
Great Escape v Wimbledon - 1994
The Great Escape Part I.
The unthinkable was happening on the final day of the 1993/94 season as Everton were staring relegation in the face.
Goodison Park was stunned as the hosts found themselves 2-0 down inside 20 minutes against Wimbledon and on course for the drop for the first time since 1950-51.
However, efforts from Graham Stuart - either side of a Barry Horne strike from long-range - saw Everton stay up.
Supporters stormed the Goodison Park turf at full-time after Everton had pulled off the great escape... but it would not be the last.
Rooney announces himself to the world - 2002
'Remember the name!'
A certain Wayne Rooney was only 16-years-old when he announced himself to the world at Goodison Park in stunning fashion.
With Everton drawing 1-1 with then champions Arsenal, substitute Rooney produced a sensational strike into the top corner with a minute remaining to send the Goodison faithful into raptures. Television commentator Clive Tyldesley found the right words to accompany the moment.
It was the beginning of an incredible career for Rooney, who enjoyed two spells at his boyhood club.
Ferguson winner over Man Utd - 2005
This list would not be complete without a moment from "Big Dunc".
Duncan Ferguson produced one of his most iconic moments in the 2004/05 campaign when Everton were pushing for a place in the UEFA Champions League.
The Toffees hosted Manchester United in April and were welcomed with a ferocious atmosphere as Rooney was making his return to Merseyside for the first time since leaving the club.
Ten years on from scoring a header against the same opponent, lightning struck twice for Ferguson as he towered above United's defenders to head home the winner from Mikel Arteta's free-kick.
Cue absolute scenes!

Great Escape v Crystal Palace - 2022
The Great Escape Part II.
Emotions were running high at Goodison Park in May 2022 when Everton faced Crystal Palace in a crucial Premier League fixture.
Heading into the game knowing that a win would keep them safe, the hosts found themselves 2-0 down at half-time and facing the unthinkable.
However, the Toffees produced an inspired comeback after the break with goals from Michael Keane, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin completing a phenomenal turnaround.
There was a huge release of emotion at the full-time whistle as Everton were officially safe, with supporters celebrating on the pitch alongside players and coaching staff.
Doucoure stunner rescues Everton on final day - 2023
The threat of relegation reared its ugly head once more for Everton in the finale of the 2022/23 campaign.
Sean Dyche's team needed to match or better Leicester City's result against West Ham in their match against Bournemouth at Goodison to remain in the top flight.
For the majority of the afternoon, the Toffees were in the relegation zone as they struggled to break the deadlock, while Leicester were winning at home against the Hammers.
But before the hour mark, Abdoulaye Doucoure stepped up to produce one of the strikes of the season, which led to an explosion of noise around Goodison.
Thanks to the midfielder's wondergoal and a couple of key saves from Jordan Pickford, Everton beat the drop once more, to the relief of a jubilant home crowd.
Winning Klopp's last Merseyside derby - 2024
This one felt so sweet.
Everton welcomed their Merseyside rivals to Goodison knowing that a victory would effectively end Liverpool's faint hopes of winning the league title that season.
It was not going to be an easy task as the Toffees hadn't enjoyed a home win over Liverpool since 2010 and it was also Jurgen Klopp's final derby.
But Everton were too strong on the night and recorded a thoroughly deserved 2-0 victory over the Reds with goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Tarkowski equaliser in Goodison’s last derby - 2025
What a way for the Merseyside derby to bid farewell to Goodison.
The clash took place two days before Valentine's Day, but there was certainly no love between the two teams earlier this season.
Beto had given the hosts an early lead before Liverpool struck back with goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah.

The action did not finish at full-time, with Abdoulaye Doucoure and Curtis Jones involved in a post-match brawl before Liverpool boss Arne Slot was sent off for confronting referee Michael Oliver after the game.
