Everton 2001–02 football season
Everton 2001–02 season Chairman Bill Kenwright Manager Walter Smith (until 13 March) [1] David Moyes (from 15 March) Stadium Goodison Park Premiership 15th FA Cup Fifth round League Cup Second round Top goalscorer League: Ferguson /Radzinski (6) All: Ferguson (8) Average home league attendance 34,004
During the 2001–02 English football season, Everton competed in the FA Premier League .
Season summary [ ]
The Everton directors finally lost patience with Walter Smith when they sacked him on 13 March after being knocked out by Middlesbrough in the FA Cup quarter final as well as their poor league form with only one win in 13 league games which saw them slip down the Premiership table and one point above the relegation zone.[2] Former Preston and future Manchester United boss David Moyes was named as his successor, and did a good job of steering Everton clear of the drop zone – though they finished 15th in the table.
Kit [ ]
Everton retained the previous season's home kit, manufactured by Puma and sponsored by one2one .[3] The away kit was Silver and the third kit was pink with black sleeves. Both away and third kits had black shorts.
