Did the Beatles support Liverpool or Everton? Answered (2024)

The city of Liverpool has 2 globally iconic names associated with it. One is LFC and one is the Beatles, one of the most popular bands of all time.

So it's natural that both of those get linked with one another, so much so that one of the most searched questions on Google is if the band members supported Liverpool Football Club or not.

Who were the Beatles?

The Beatles were a rock band that was formed in the 1960s, one of the most popular bands to ever exist in this world. The members included John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

The band originated in Liverpool, with all it's members from the city, and they went on to have an immeasurable impact on the music community and the world in general.

Why wouldn't they be Reds fans?

Younger fans would think it's a no-brainer to support Liverpool over Everton but that wasn't always the case throughout history.

Everton had a rich history with legends like Dixie Dean in the early 1900s and then enjoyed their golden era during the 1960s, winning multiple league titles as well as the FA Cup.

Meanwhile, the Reds were just about starting to become great again after spending time in the Second Division.

So who did they support?

Paul McCartney supported Everton, the only one who had open allegiances in the world of football. He was, however, once spotted at a Liverpool game wearing a red scarf in 1965.

Neither John Lennon nor George Harrison expressed that much interest in the game of football, while Ringo Starr admitted to actually being an Arsenal fans because he was introduced to the Gunners by his step-dad.
