With a name like that one might be forgiven for thinking first of a Brit footie side. Either that or kitchen help for Chef Blackstock in the Brit comedy telly series Chef!.
Actually it is a Danish badge from the firm of Egedeso based in Odense. In 1995 they were purchased by an entity titled Smith & Co. Several marques have lived under the one house. Another is Scan Sport. At least some of their products seem to be contract built.
If it is a road model lightweight it may exhibit mixed kitting from all over the world.

Finally riding a big boys bike
I miss that show so bad. I had to stay up pretty late to watch it on PBS.

Expect to view a serial on the sinistral side of the seat tube.
It should have the format LLNNNNNL or LLLNNNNNL. The final letter is an indication of the year produced. The last two letters prior to the numbers are usually EE which indicate a foreign produced frame or bicycle.
Have found no evidence that they ever did any actual manufacturing.
Back in the 1950's and 1960's some of their machines were contract built in Italy. By the 1980's everything was coming from asia.
Another brand name under which some were sold was that of Ole Ritter, a Danish cycling champion.
Company text on origin of Everton name -
"I starten af 1950'erne besluttede man at finde et navn til sine cykler. På daværende tidspunkt var cykel-markedet domineret af mange tyske cykel-navne - og da 'Tysk' ikke var særligt populært i Danmark i den periode (relativt kort tid efter krigen), ville man hellere finde et Engelsk navn. Vel at mærke et engelsk-klingende navn, som samtidig var let at udtale på dansk – og valget faldt på Everton!"

Loved it also.
Lenny Henry's creation reminded me of an Orson Welles film in that it was "...written by, produced by, directed by and starring..."
