everton/liverpool catholic/protestant
of coarse this doesnt matter in football but ive been asked this a few times and thought ye may be interested
both clubs were set up by the same people middle class prodistant business men .
most people in liverpool are everton fans like in manchester its city fans .everton being the club for the ordinary working class man (peoples club), in the 50's there stars were irish and so most of the working class in liverpool being irish started to watch everton .
this led to a sudo irish feel to the club this continued through the 80's when everton and celtic were the only 2 clubs to fly the tri colour in britain . this is why everton are now considered a "irish" club . there is a lot more but it gets boring
