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.
