Highest Attendances In The Derby
   
The media stereotype of cars filled with 2 Everton and 2 Liverpool fans good-naturedly bantering their merry way towards either Goodison or Anfield for another rousing Merseyside Derby has always been a huge exaggeration - and it's becoming more and more detached from the truth with every passing season.

What is true, however, is that the derby has always attracted - and still continues to attract - bumper crowds.  The modern-day attendances may not rival those of yesteryear - when 60 and 70,000 gates were common at Goodison - but you try getting a ticket for the match!

The full list of the biggest attendances at Goodison, Anfield and elsewhere is below.
