24 June 1909 - Everton caught up in Argentinian pitch invasion! Whilst on tour in Argentina, the Everton team took the opportunity to watch two local sides. A larger than expected crowd gathered to watch the same match, resulting in a minor pitch invasion. The response was swift as the Argentinian cavalry took to the field and set about the invaders with the flats of their swords. Unsurprisingly, order was soon restored.

25 June 1968 - Craig Short born in Bridlington. Short made 104 appearances for the Club between 1995 and 1999 before signing for Blackburn Rovers. See Craig Short memorabilia here.
25 June 1998 - Howard Kendall resigns from his third spell as Everton manager. Despite steering the Club clear of relegation it was widely known that some of the board were keen to replace him as soon as the season finished. There were rumours that he had already been voted out of the post and that negotiations with other managers, including Martin O'Neill, were underway. However there was no official statement and Kendall remained silent until handing in his resignation. See Howard Kendall memorabilia here.
27 June 1986 - Paul Power signs for Everton. A surprising transfer from Manchester City since Power was 32 and coming to the end of his career. Nevertheless, Everton paid £65,000 for Power who went on to help the Club win the League title in his first season. See Paul Power memorabilia.
