Even the new stadium, with its increased capacity, won’t get near the numbers during the days of standing room.

That record attendance for the Merseyside derby came as crowds returned to normal following the end of World War II.

Everton selected a team containing six players who had won the league a decade earlier and stunned their visitors with a strong performance, earning a 1-1 draw.

Willie Fagan put Liverpool ahead before Jock Dodds equalised from the penalty spot with six minutes remaining.

Everton have had crowds of over 70,000 on 16 occasions, the most recent of which was the 1960 clash with Burnley mentioned above.
