The 1999-00 campaign delivered a season of mid-table consolidation for Everton as The Toffees secured a 13th-place finish in the Premier League under manager Walter Smith. Leading the attack was the prolific Kevin Campbell, whose 12 league goals were vital, including the memorable winner in the 1-0 victory over rivals Liverpool at Anfield. The season also saw a solid run to the FA Cup quarter-finals, and it remains a defining chapter for Campbell, who had made an instant impact and whose goals ensured the club avoided a serious relegation threat.
