2001–02 season of Everton F.C.
Everton 2001–02 football season
During the 2001–02 English football season, Everton competed in the FA Premier League .
In what had become a depressingly familiar pattern for the Goodison Park faithful, the 2001-02 season saw encouraging form early on, followed by a disastrous run of results after Christmas Day, plunging the Toffees deep into relegation trouble. 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, with only one win in 13 league games which left Everton one point above the relegation zone.[ 2] Former Preston and boss David Moyes was appointed as his successor, and did a good job of steering Everton clear of the drop zone, finishing 15th in the table.
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.
