The stadium was completed late last year, and the first competitive fixture is scheduled to take place in August.
Being part of the first game at Everton’s new stadium was ‘a really, really proud moment’ for Southern, who added: ‘I came down at 16 from school, had five years at the Football Club as a youth-team player and now I’m fortunate to come back and be part of something special – because this club is special.’.
A lucky group of Everton fans witnessed history last night as the club opened its new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium, but the evening was tainted by Liverpool supporter Harrison Rimmer.
The first test event at the newly constructed Everton FC stadium will take place front of a capacity of 10,000 spectators.
