The man was reportedly protesting against Ryanair's recruitment policy after his daughter was denied a job by the airline.
A message on his T-shirt read: "Europe's greatest training robbers. Ryanair. Lowest wages guaranteed. Stop. Recruitment scamming our children."
"Bolt-cutters were used to remove the offender, who was roundly booed as he was escorted from the ground," an Everton spokesman was quoted as saying by Daily Mail.
