    McNeil without set pieces got 4 goals and 4 assists last season. Which would still have him as our highest assister in the league last season. He played a grand total of 130 mins more than lindstrom (actually 4 appearances less) and got 4 goals...

    Particularly from 84-89. Gutted when mimms was in goal 86 final. Would have won with big Nev. Younger people just remember a large above average keeper. But he was outstanding and truly world class. Can't think of any other players I'd say that...

    Our only player to be mentioned constantly in the top 20 ever in his position.

    The term 'world class' is bandied around far too readily these days, but as I just missed out on seeing Bally in a blue shirt, I'd say Big Nev is the only truly world class player I've seen at Everton. Lots of 'great' players, but in his prime...

    Saw him at a dinner thing and someone asked “who was the best crosser of the ball “ and he said “stupid question it’s a cross , I either get them or not . I nearly always got them though “

    He still had brilliant agility even into his 40's. He still flung himself around in training and was way more athletic than most at that age despite his size. I don't think his weight was really an issue until around 1997 when he did visibly...

    It’s funny you say that because Nev is ridiculous OTT in his criticisms of Pickford , I love the big man but he definitely goes too far with that .

    Always found it really sad seeing him play for different teams after he left in 98. Just felt weird and if it shouldn't be happening.

    Around 2000 I went to watch him in goal for rhyl. Still great even then. Remember him not bothering to dive and try to save goals at times. I used to tell people it's because he was that good he knew he'd never make it. Also, when the because...

    Those years were dreadful as is your post, He’s up there with the best players we’ve ever had. He didn’t win us games he won us trophies.

    Dont remember that one mate but i remember watching the 88 game on sportsnight and the dutch side had gullit, Van basten, Frank rijkaard. The koeman brothers. Real class dutch side. They won 1-0 with a late goal from gullit. I just remember...

    I think the answer at it's most basic level is if you bothered to watch season reviews of any of the other keepers named from when they were in their mid 30s you'd probably find exactly the same thing from them too.

    I don’t think I have seen a goalkeeper with better fundamentals i.e. his positioning was always perfect in terms of angles etc which is why he made all of those save in the couple final. He also was a great catcher. He barely ever spilled...
