Sylvester Stallone sends Goodison Park message as Everton legend delights with return
Following Everton's final Premier League fixture at Goodison Park, a 2-0 win over Southampton, an End of an Era ceremony took place on the pitch as the Blues departed their home for the past 133 years. It was an emotional tribute to the Grand Old Lady that saw Everton legends from a number of eras paraded on the pitch, live music, interviews and much more. Here's a look back at some standout moments from the once-in-a-lifetime event. READ MORE: Grown men cry, strangers hug and Everton legends get emotional in perfect Goodison farewell READ MORE: I saw unprecedented scenes on my way to Goodison Park this morning - this doesn't happen in England Cheer we goWhether it's someone falling over or a referee being hit by the ball, there are some occurrences at football matches that are guaranteed to make crowds roar, but when it comes to Evertonians, 'Operation Goodison,' a stadium security drill always hits the spot. So, it was one of the wittier elements of the post-match entertainment to announce the commencement of 'Operation End of an Era.'The declaration, over the P.A. system, prompted a big belly laugh from seasoned Goodison patrons but while fan favourites like Duncan Ferguson also got big cheers, there was also a rousing reception for an old friend. While the stages and seating were being set up and the current players had returned to the changing rooms before returning for their post-match lap of appreciation, a number of video messages were displayed over the stadium's big of course were from former Everton favourites who couldn't be present on the day, plus other admirers from the world of football like Ian Wright, Arsene Wenger, Gary Neville and Alan Shearer, but one of the biggest cheers was reserved for Hollywood's biggest Blue Slyvester Stallone, who became an instant hit with the fanbase when he declared he was one of their own at the Grand Old Lady back in gig for RooneyBack in 2004, when he departed Everton for Manchester United while still aged just 18, few could have imagined Wayne Rooney being back on the pitch as part of Goodison Park's End of an Era ceremony, but there has been enough water under the bridge over the subsequent 21 years to fill the Mersey. Turning 40 later this year, Rooney of course came back for a second stint in a royal blue jersey in the 2017/18 season having won every major honour in the game with the Red Devils and leaving Old Trafford as their all-time leading have forgiven but they haven't forgotten and the lad from Croxteth who once displayed a t-shirt with the slogan 'Once a blue, always a blue,' was reminded of his controversial defection over two decades ago. As he spoke to address the crowd, Rooney, arguably Everton's most-gifted home-grown talent was drowned out by a chorus of 'Manchester is full of s**t.'To be fair, he took it well and acknowledged that while he'd had his 'ups and downs' with the supporters, he still loves the club. Game for a laughIt's often said that all Scousers are natural comedians and there will still plenty of light-hearted moments from the ceremony, starting with John Bailey, the joker in the pack among Howard Kendall's side, striding out onto the Goodison Park pitch wearing a replica of his oversized top hat worn on the Wembley turf after the 2-0 win over Watford in the 1984 FA Cup final. Host Gethin Jones asked Leighton Baines about the unique experience of playing as a full-back at Goodison with the crowd so close to him and the now first team coach admitted it depended on how well he was doing, but he'd passed a lot of messages on from the touchline over the Reid, a player who Kendall described as Everton's most-important since the Second World War and the most fervent example of a local lad who was a Red turned Blue, spoke poignantly about the feeling of moving on and it being a case of 'thank you' to Goodison rather than 'goodbye,' but he also had everyone in stitches when he quipped: 'Sorry about the sunglasses, but I was on the lash last night.' Strength in numbersIt was also great to see Reid's team-mate Neville Southall, who won the Football Writers Association Footballer of the Year award in 1984/85 when his midfield colleague was named PFA Players' Player of the Year, also out on the pitch with so many former Everton stars. The former Wales international goalkeeper had confirmed his attendance on Friday but feared his recent health problems would prevent him from taking to the playing Pickford's baby slept through the whole affair while his eldest two children enjoyed some rough and tumble on the grass but joining them all were the following: Tony Kay, Bob Latchford, Billy Wright, Jim Pearson, Dave Jones, Ken McNaught, George Telfer, Steve Seargeant, Mike Pejic, Duncan McKenzie, Roger Kenyon, Ronny Goodlass, Johnny Morrisey, Martin Dobson, Brian Kidd, Derek Temple and Joe Royle.

The strict rule Everton fans are allowed to break at final Goodison Park game
Everton fans will bid an emotional farewell to their famous Goodison Park stadium today – and will be allowed to break a strict English football rule. The Premier League match between Everton and Southampton will be the final one for the men's team at Goodison, their home since 1892. For the 2025-26 season, the Merseyside club move to a brand new £800million, 52,888 capacity stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. But it's not the end of Goodison Park – as while the original plan was for it to be demolished – it was announced recently that it will become the home for the Everton women's team. Nevertheless, it will be an incredibly emotional day for the Toffees this afternoon and given the occasion, fans will be allowed to do something that has been outlawed at English football stadiums for 40 years. After the full-time whistle, fans have been encouraged to stay for an 'End of an Era' show, which will celebrate the history of Goodison and give the iconic ground the send-off it deserves. Notably, supporters will be allowed to bring alcoholic drinks into the stands as they watch the show. Drinking alcohol in the stands has been banned in England's top five divisions since 1985, a measure introduced to curb hooliganism. While normal rules will apply before and during the match, fans will able to purchase food and drink and bring it to their seats until 2.45pm, around 45 minutes after the game is expected to finish. Everton say the End of an Era show will last around one hour and feature 'guest presenters, appearances from current and former players, live musical performances, and specially-curated big screen content that captures the spirit, memories and history of the stadium'. Everton vs Southampton will kick-off at 12pm on Sunday, May 18. More Trending The Premier League match will be broadcast on TNT Sports 1 and streamed live on discovery+, with coverage beginning at 11am. While there will be a raucous atmosphere, the game itself is of little consequence, with Southampton already condemned to last place and relegation to the Championship. Everton, rejuvenated since the return of manager David Moyes in January, cannot finish higher than 13th but, naturally, will be desperate to go out on a high at Goodison.
