Ex players on the pitch Sunday:

[PercyPlant]

The saddest one was seeing that Joe Royle couldn’t do the appreciation lap. I welled up when I saw him doing the Echo’s Goodison memories podcast. I absolutely love him. Thinking about it, today was the first time I cried about an Everton related event since I found out Howard Kendall had passed. Stood in the middle of a shopping centre crying that day

Duncan's a hero. What a player he was.

We all agree , Duncan McKenzie is magic….

He actually shagged my ex-wife’s mum in Grimsby..

 

[Papa Shango]

I don't remember that second verse...

 

[Shevin Keedy]

I don't remember that second verse...

 

[Gary1959]

Thanks for that.

Just nearly choked laughing.

Seen Gravesen, Weir and Myhre on tele. I’ve seen a guy with curly long hair was that Pistone?

…might have this wrong but I have a vague recollection he married Archie Styles sister.

Sounds a bit fishy

Not an ex-player, but nice to see Martinez get a nice, polite round of applause with his video message, befitting of a manager who secured us successive 5th, 11th and 12th positions. Polite.

 

[blackie_jones75]

The Rooney thing was very funny.

What happened ? Couldn’t hear it properly

 

[stretford blue]

No Gravesen or carsley?

Or hibbo

 

[Neiler]

 

[Dan Tanner]

Mike pejic

Looked like Rocky Dennis from the mask...

Divides opinion as a manager but always a very good speaker who has a deep understanding of the game. Enjoyed him saying most grounds you only feel a manager when on the touchline but Goodison you felt it as soon as you started walking up the tunnel steps and felt the walls slightly shaking.

Not sure if that ground feature has been kept for BMD as that is always something that has been uniquely Everton and is more commonplace in foreign grounds where teams emerge from dressing rooms below pitch level.
