Everton have a long and cherished history in England’s top flight but over the years, they have come perilously close to relegation.
I still remember walking off the pitch with Arsenal on the last day of the Premier League season on May 7, 1994, to discover that my former club had come back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 against Wimbledon and save their status.
That was Everton’s greatest ever escape, and we saw similar scenes last season when they came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 against Crystal Palace and secure survival.
