Everton has seven heroes that merit everlasting recognition at the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium.

Everton has seven icons that merit permanent commemoration at the new stadium. ECHO readers can vote on which Everton icon deserves a permanent memorial at the new stadium in Bramley-Moore. Dock Everton may want to honor one of their club icons when they move into their new stadium next year. The Blues will leave Goodison Park in May, following the end of the Premier League season.

The new 52,888-seater stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock is still being built and is scheduled to be ready for Everton to begin the 2025/26 season in August of next year. In keeping with Goodison’s tradition, prospective new owners Friedkin Group could opt to install a statue to honor a member of the club’s illustrious past. Dixie Dean has a statue outside Goodison Park after being named one of the club’s best players, while a similar memorial to Howard Kendall, Colin Harvey, and Alan Ball was unveiled five years ago. Could Everton do something similar for another club icon ahead of their transfer to Bramley-Moore Dock?

Chris Beesley writes about Everton icon Neville Southall, who may deserve to have a statue made in his honour when the club moves to its new stadium. Everton fans may vote on which Blues legend deserves to be honored in the club’s future home at Bramley-Moore Dock. Of course, it does not have to be a statue; it can be another type of tribute.

Kevin Campbell, who died in June at the age of 54, could be honored in Everton’s new stadium. Campbell scored 50 goals in 160 Blues appearances between 1999 and 2005, and supporters can vote for the former striker in the ECHO’s newest poll. Seamus Coleman, one of the squad’s current members, may be eligible for an accolade. The Everton skipper has 424 appearances for the Blues and will be remembered as a fan favourite at Goodison Park.

Leighton Baines, who plays fullback, may possibly be deserving of the accolade. The same could be said about three Everton icons from the 1980s: Peter Reid, Kevin Sheedy, and Kevin Ratcliffe, who were key members of the team under Kendall that won titles both domestically and in Europe during a golden era.
