Everton's new stadium architect Dan Meis is keen to ensure the club's history is properly recognised in the construction of the Bramley-Moore Dock development.
The American wants to include the tradition of Goodison Park, the club's home of 125 years, in the £300million 50,000-plus capacity new-build on the banks of the River Mersey.
Meis and his team have immersed themselves in the club's history to help deliver a 'potentially iconic' stadium to ensure Everton do not suffer the curse of a modern-day, soulless ground.
'So much of where we start isn't about architecture - it is about the stories and the history,' he said.
