Mosaic of fans' photos planned for new stadium

Everton say the mosaic will be expanded over the coming seasons giving more fans the chance to be involved

A commemorative fan wall at Everton's stadium will give supporters the opportunity to become part of the club's new home.

A mosaic artwork comprised entirely of fan photos will be installed on the river-facing western side of the club's new 52,888 seater stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock in Liverpool.

Fan photos will be used to create larger pictures of popular Blues figures past and present, named "the Originals", the club said.

It comes after a paved walkway on Everton Way, made up of engraved stones that celebrate Evertonians’ births and marriages, had to be expanded due to demand.

Among the initial line-up of Originals will be Dixie Dean, Alan Ball, Howard Kendall, Colin Harvey and Brian Labone.

Everton captain Kevin Campbell, Seamus Coleman and Tim Cahill will also take their place on the wall.

They are joined by Bob Latchford, a goalscoring hero of the 1970s, and decorated 1980s duo Graeme Sharp and Neville Southall.

The club said the mosaic would be expanded over the coming seasons to give more supporters the chance to be involved.
