The 2002-03 campaign delivered a spectacular return to form for Everton as The Toffees, in David Moyes' first full season, clinched a strong 7th-place finish in the Premier League and secured a coveted spot in the Intertoto Cup. Leading the charge for goals was the Canadian forward Tomasz Radzinski, whose 12 crucial goals proved vital in a campaign built on renewed optimism. The season, however, is immortalized by the stunning emergence of a 16-year-old local prodigy, Wayne Rooney, who announced his arrival on the world stage with a sensational, last-minute winner against reigning champions Arsenal, a breathtaking goal that ended the Gunners' 30-match unbeaten run and instantly launched a legendary career.
