EVERTON NEW STADIUM: SPECIAL GUESTS CONFIRMED AS MORE GOODISON PARK FAREWELL PLANS REVEALED

Everton fan favourites Thomas Gravesen, Lee Carsley and Daniel Amokachi have been confirmed to appear at the first in a series of star-studded events that will celebrate Goodison Park in the ground’s historic final season.

Gwladys Street Presents: Cult Heroes will take place at the stadium on Wednesday August 21, with the trio set to join members of Sean Dyche’s first-team squad and special-guest host Leon Osman, who is currently joint 10th on Everton's all-time appearance list alongside Dixie Dean with 433 games. The event will see a giant stage erected on the Goodison turf and fans pack the Howard Kendall Gwladys Street End to enjoy never-heard-before stories from the club’s past and reflect on all that has made the Grand Old Lady great.

More stellar names – including which of the present-day players will be involved – will be revealed in the coming weeks as the full line-up for Gwladys Street Presents: Cult Heroes is confirmed. Osman said: “I honestly can’t wait for it.

“I’m really excited about the evening and being back at Goodison Park in front of a packed Gwladys Street. My old teammates Tommy Gravesen and Lee Carsley are no doubt going to be brilliant, and I can’t wait to get into some of their best stories.

“And Amo! I remember Daniel Amokachi from my time as a young player at the club and he's someone who had a huge impact.

“I think everyone recalls him for the charisma he showed on and off the pitch and I can’t wait to interview him on stage. I’m lucky to know some of the other guests who are signed up and Evertonians definitely won’t be disappointed.”

Tickets for the event – and a similar Everton Giants edition of the series on Wednesday October 16 – are on sale now, with Season Ticket, Hospitality and Official Members having a two-day priority window to secure their seat ahead of general sale commencing at 10am on Friday (June 28).
