The ‘past their best’ XI

[davids]

Richard Gough

 

[Vaughan]

Walcott and Lennon are two players who I would have absolutely loved us to have circa 2006 to 2010

shame we got them in 2015 and 2018

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Ian Durrant.....ironside?

Ian Durrant.....ironside?

The player we actually initially loaned alone - Duncan Ferguson was sent down to keep him company.

Funny how things turn out.

 

[NeilMorepies]

Managed by David “getting rid of deadweight is far too hard” Moyes

 

[Blue Parkender]

The present team

 

[Professor Toffee]

Colin Todd and Bruce Rioch

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Beardsley probably qualifies.

 

[Efcjake]

Most of our current XI.

 

[windymiller]

The present team

Next season's is shaping up to be even older!

 

[Walken]

The players who we signed maybe 10 years past their prime, with varying success.

Squad additions/changes welcome:

————-—-Martyn——————-

Young——Gough—Weir???——Sansom

Rodriguez——Gascoigne—Barry—-Ginola

—————Hughes—-Eto————-

Gazza, Hughes and Ginola were all class players who were frighteningly past their best.

Gough, Barry and James all still class

Had completely forgotten about him mate, was dismal times in the forward dept, John Spencer is in there somewhere as well around that time!

John Spencer was the lowest point of Everton football club.

 

[Papa Shango]

I had completely forgotten Kenny Sansom ever played for us. Actually, it still doesn't compute.

Is it a dream or was Pat Jennings also on our books in 1986 when Big Nev was crocked? Or am I hallucinating?

Yeah back up goalie for the cup final.

Here we go.

 

[Aberblue]

Gazza, Hughes and Ginola were all class players who were frighteningly past their best.

Gough, Barry and James all still class

Imagine if we'd had Gough, Barry and James when they were ten years younger.

Walcott was rubbish when we signed him but, then again, he was rubbish circa 2006 to 2010. He had pace to burn, but no footballing brain to know what to do with it. That's why he was never more than a bit part player at Arsenal.
