Prince Rupert’s Tower was vandalised in the wake of Liverpool’s Champions League success
The number ‘six’ was painted on the ancient structure, located on Everton Brow, in an apparent reference to Liverpool’s sixth European Cup success.
Amid dismay from Evertonians, a group of Reds supporters set out to clean the tower themselves.

The ancient tower has been cleaned of the graffiti left over the weekend
A depiction of the famous structure has featured on Everton’s crest since 1938.
It is deeply interwoven in the club’s history and, in 2003, a plaque was added to the building stating the importance of its sporting association.
In 1997, Everton gave £15,000 to help renovate the structure and, in 2014, it was permanently illuminated blue.

The tower’s name is thought to originate from the English Civil War Siege of Liverpool in 1644.
While the building was erected 143 years after the battle, Everton Brow was where Prince Rupert and his Royalist army camped to prepare for the attack on the Parliamentarian garrison holding Liverpool Castle, which fell after a week of heavy fighting and the loss of 1,500 of his men.
