    Former Everton midfielder Barry Horne says leaving Goodison Park will be "sad" but that the move to a new stadium "feels right."

    Horne, a boyhood Evertonian, was an FA Cup winner with Everton in 1995.

    The ex-Wales international scored Everton's first ever goal in the Premier League on his debut at Goodison Park in August 1992.

    He also scored in a famous win over Wimbledon in May 1994 which saw Everton seal Premier League survival on the final day of the season.

    "For many, many years I was dead set against moving from Goodison but as time has gone on you realise it's tired," Horne told BBC Sport Wales.

    "It's been a magnificent stadium – it's had the World Cup here – but it's had it's time. We'll all be sad but it feels right.

    "I've been to the new stadium – I went to one of the test events – and it's going to be absolutely sensational."
