David Moyes: Goodison Park Farewell will be “sad and emotional”

Everton’s last game in Goodison Park This weekend will be a moving occasion, said manager David Moyes on Friday, when the club said goodbye to the stadium that they have called at home for 133 years, but he wants his players to concentrate on beating Southampton.

Moyes’ Side presenter was already in her 2,789. Game in “The Grand Old Lady”, which has been at home since 1892, already administered before moving to Bramley-Moore Dock next season.

“I think all Evertonians have been waiting for this moment for some time.

“It will be a sad and emotional day, but I have to concentrate the players on the game.”

Since he went through the doors for the first time, when he was appointed in 2002, Moyes developed a mid-table club into an outsider side that often challenged the elite, and gave the fans many beautiful memories that they could look back on.

But the Scots said there are other people who are “a little wiser and more expert” about Everton and Goodison Park than him.

“There are some great history, great stories, great managers and great players who were all here. I am only the one who will close the door outside,” he added.

“It will be sad, but we move into something that will give us a bigger and better future.”

When the 62-year-old was asked about his favorite highlight of Goodison Park, he said that it was his arrival in March 2002.

“The first day and the field against Fulham is probably for me because it was the beginning,” he said.

“There were questions about how long it would take, but I had really good people who let me go on with my job and gave me everything I needed.

“This is the moment I remember everything.”
