There have been 358 sendings-off in competitive Everton games, made up of 183 for Everton players and
175 for our opponents, with the first being Everton's Charlie Parry at our then home, Anfield, against Blackburn in September 1889.

In addition, Everton manager Carlo Ancelloti received a red card after the end of a match against Man Utd at Goodison in
March 2020 for confronting the referee!
And the same thing happened to West Brom manager Slaven Bilic at half-time at Goodison in September 2020
and to Liverpool boss Arne Slot at full-time at Goodison in February 2025!
Those dismissals are not counted in these statistics.

Nine players who played for Everton at some point in their career have been sent off against Everton (Mark Hughes,
Don Hutchison, Neil McDonald, Lucas Neil, Terry Phelan, Graeme Sharp, Carl Tiler, Sander Westerveld and
Matt Woods) but only one player - Don Hutchison - has been sent off both for and against Everton.

Everton have had 2 players sent off in the same game on 10 occasions, our opponents 6 times.

The most players sent off in a single Everton game is 3, something that has happened 3 times - at Goodison Park
against Barnsley in 1915 (2 Everton players and 1 opponent), at Anfield against Liverpool in
September 1999 (1+2) and at Elland Road against Leeds in May 2000 (2+1).

Gathered together here are details of all of the sendings-off, separated out into handy sections so you can
see who have been the baddest bad guys, the red-card happiest refs, the dirtiest opponents, and so on!

* An Everton, a Brentford and a Tottenham red card at Goodison Park, and an Everton and a West Ham red card at Upton Park, all in the Prem
  - plus an Everton red card at Selhurst Park in the FA Cup - were all subsequently rescinded by The FA.
  The figures here include those red cards.
