The tie against Bolton in the previous round was subsequently awarded by the FA to Bolton due to Everton fielding ineligible players. This match against Preston was played prior to the FA's decision. The Preston match was subsequently struck from the records and the match, appearance and goal statistics are not included in official records. Everton didn't begin playing FA Cup matches until 1887/88 and were founder members of the Football League, which began in 1888/89. Prior to that the club participated in Friendly matches and local Cup competitions. Details are inevitably sketchy and incomplete. Match, appearance and goal statistics are not counted in any official records. |
