    Talking about animals, I have started reading up on onomastics, and where better to start than Everton, Chelsea and Manchester United,
    So Everton
    'Everton comes from a word meaning either “pig enclosure” or “Eofor’s enclosure”, from the Old English word “eofor” for a domestic pig or the first name “Eofor”.
    It was once called “Euretone”, but had become “Evretona” by 1094.
    The area was known for cattle-grazing and the farmland was handed between various elites before it was declared an independent area in the 17th century and the land was gradually sold off to local people.' - What every place name in Liverpool means and where it comes from - https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/how-liverpool-suburbs-got-names-14097725

    Black boots policy at Man Utd academy 'perfect' - Gomes
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news

    He seems a sensible young man.

    I think Alan Ball had the first non-black boots when he had white ones in the late 1960's when playing for Everton's first team.

    The link doesn't work for me - is some kind of racist thing ?

    These included, for the first time ever, the all-white boot worn by Everton's Alan Ball during his team's 1970 Charity Shield victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Moulded football boots for wear on firm natural surfaces were introduced.

    Can't find the link now, John.
    The "black boots" was just a way of making everybody play on a level playing field :lol::lol: without anyone thinking they are special and/or different.
