A Farewell to Goodison: Capturing the Final Everton F.C. Stadium Tours
This year held a truly special significance for me, both as a photographer and as a lifelong Evertonian. I had the immense pleasure before the start of the 24/25 season of capturing the imagery for the final stadium tours at Goodison Park, Everton F.C.'s historic home. Knowing these images would be used globally across social media, web, and print, added an extra layer of responsibility and excitement.
Having attended games at Goodison since childhood, this project was deeply personal. To be able to document these final tours, before the club's momentous move to the new Bramley Moore (Hill Dickenson) stadium, was an honour. I aimed to capture not just the physical spaces, but also the spirit and history that has resonated within those walls for generations.
A Global Legacy
The images captured have been seen by Evertonians around the world, a testament to the club's global reach. They will serve as a lasting visual record of Goodison Park in its final chapter, before the exciting new era at the new stadium begins.
More Than Just a Stadium
Goodison Park is more than just a stadium; it's a home, a fortress, and a repository of countless memories. My goal was to capture that essence – the echoes of roaring crowds, the tangible history in the stands, and the unique character of every corner of this iconic ground. From the hallowed pitch to the dressing rooms where legends prepared for battle, I aimed to create images that would resonate with fans worldwide.
This project was a true privilege, blending my professional passion with a lifelong personal connection. As Everton prepares to write a new chapter at Bramley Moore, these images will serve as a tribute to the legacy of Goodison Park.
