Which player did you want to be when you were growing up ?

[Papa Shango]

A cheat & a coke head

If you aint cheating you aint trying...

I'm only a young fella so Baines and Coleman were my favourites, absolute warriors who loved the club.

Alan Ball, without a doubt.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

It started off with Joe Royle as a kid then as I realised I came from a short family it morphed into Duncan McKenzie, then as I relaised I had very limited skill it became Andy King, as I could always run around a lot in midfield. Eventually Peter Reid became the one I most wanted to emulate. Sadly now its 40 years too late

I was 13 when Bally signed so realized I would never be that good (he was the best). Before then I always loved Jimmy Gabriel and tried unsuccessfully to be like him, loved Gabby when I was little.

Bally. First full kit the round collar RBJ, white shorts, white socks, and my dear Mam sewed on the no 8. It all came in a white cardboard box - I was probably 6.

Aiden McGeady

 

[Bluerover]

Not gonna lie, it was Thierry Henry

Wasn't till Cahill came around that I proper loved an Everton player

Hand ball!!!! Great player but that was horrible ?

 

[Bluerover]

Not sure how I can answer this but the player I wanted to marry as a 12 year old was Asa Hartford

Asa was a King of Judah in the OT. I really liked his reincarnation in the RBJ.

 

[Bluerover]

As kids, when playing 3 and in, I was Bally outfield, but either West or Gordon Best when "in". Loved them all.

Worth a watch, nice quality picture too for 75!

Frank Lampard Snr at 2 mins is funny

Brooking was genius!

My fave away kit too!

…sadly, Lampard snr had the last laugh.

 

[Kurt.]

Ratcliffe and Baresi

….Banks I presume, terrific players.

 

[Ollie d]

Adrian Heath initially, then Peter Reid or Gary Linekar. Could've picked anyone from that period, though
