Everton have one of the most high-profile trophy droughts in English football.

Despite being one of the biggest teams in the country, Everton haven’t won any silverware in over 30 years at this point.

Nobody needs reminding that Everton’s last trophy was the 1995 FA Cup, but since then, it has been a barren run.

 There have been a few near misses, Everton reached the 2009 FA Cup final and even took the lead in that game early on, while in 2012 the Toffees reached the FA Cup semis, falling just short against Liverpool.

Everton will be desperate to finally end that trophy drought, and according to famous Evertonian and UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, that long wait for a trophy may soon be over.

Andy Burnham predicts Everton’s next trophy win

Burnham spoke to the Liverpool Echo about Everton’s current situation and their hopes of success in the future.

Everton are up for sale, and Burnham doesn’t think it will take long for a buyer to take a keen interest, claiming that the club have the best stadium and the best manager in the world.

On top of that, Burnham claimed that a trophy will be coming to the Hill Dickinson Stadium in the next five years.

“Here’s a prediction, Everton will win a trophy in the next five years. You heard it here first.”

Everton haven’t been close to winning a trophy for some time, but, as we’ve seen over the years, there’s no reason why a bolt from the blue trophy win can’t be possible.

Crystal Palace, Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic and Swansea City have all won major trophies over the past 15 years, and, with all due respect, Everton are a bigger and better club than all of those listed above.

Everton need to end this trophy drought, and Burnham believes that the Toffees may not be far off making that happen.
