1979 Everton Versus S.V. Roda International Friendly Programme

This original Everton vs S.V. Roda match programme from 1979 is a superb piece of international football memorabilia, capturing a rare friendly fixture between Everton and Dutch side Roda JC Kerkrade.
International friendlies of this kind were far less common in the late 1970s, making this programme an appealing item for collectors of Everton history, European football, and cross‑border club fixtures.

The programme includes match details, team information, editorial notes, and period advertising that reflects the design and culture of Goodison Park at the time.
Sold exactly as shown, this is a charming and increasingly scarce survivor from Everton’s late‑70s calendar.

Everton vs S.V. Roda – International Friendly Programme (1979)

During the late 1970s, English clubs frequently arranged friendly matches with European sides to build fitness, test new line‑ups, and strengthen international relationships.
Roda JC, a respected Dutch Eredivisie club, were known for their competitive style and strong European presence, making this fixture a notable event for Everton supporters.

Programmes from these friendlies were typically printed in smaller numbers than league issues, and surviving examples — especially from the 1970s — are now sought after by collectors.
