As Everton prepares to bid adieu to their beloved Goodison Park, Graeme Souness has expressed his desire to see the Toffees make their final season at the iconic stadium a memorable one. In his column for the Daily Mail, the former Liverpool legend acknowledged the special place Goodison holds in the hearts of Evertonians and the city’s footballing heritage.

Souness wrote, “It would be wonderful for Everton to give their long-suffering supporters a fitting farewell to Goodison Park. It is a special place, one of two iconic grounds in the city, and one I’ve always had affection for.”

As the Toffees embark on their last dance with Goodison, they face a challenging opener against Brighton, a team not to be underestimated. However, with Everton ending last season on a positive note and seeking to maintain that momentum, Souness’s wish may not be an unrealistic one.

The stakes are high, with the new Bramley Moore Dock stadium awaiting, but for now, the focus is on savoring every moment at Goodison. Souness’s sentiment echoes the emotions of Everton fans, who are eager to see their team give the Grand Old Lady the sendoff she deserves.

With Sean Dyche at the helm, the Toffees will be keen to make a strong start and set the tone for a memorable season. As the curtain rises on their final campaign at Goodison, Souness’s words serve as a reminder of the significance of this season and the opportunity for Everton to create lasting memories.
