The Grand Old Lady of English Football On Sunday we bade an emotional farewell to Goodison Park, a place like no other in English football and, arguably, the last — perhaps the most magnificent — footballing venue of her kind.

The Grand Old Lady of English Football: On Sunday we bade an emotional farewell to Goodison Park, a place like no other in English football and, arguably, the last — perhaps the most magnificent — footballing venue of her kind.

A poignant, stirring listen this week. @efclyndon.bsky.social and the lads on the final day at Goodison.

Now confirmed, the Old Lady will live on with the Women's team but for the tens of thousands for whom Goodison is home every other weekend for 9 months a year and in their hearts 24/7/365, this Sunday marks the end of an era. This is a lovely, emotional listen. Please share widely
