Evening all,

This rather unfortunate Gbamin news has got me thinking about the unluckiest Everton players I have known. James Vaughan was incredibly unlucky with injuries. He was, in my humble but irrelevant opinion, a really good footballer and without the injuries he'd have gone on to make a very big impact on the club.

Then there was Victor Anichebe who wasn't as talented, but he seemed to pick up knocks just when he was starting to find a bit of consistency. I recall Yakubu being in blinding form and us going well but then he got hurt at Spurs or somewhere and was never the same. Again, quite unlucky.

This is just from memory, I'm sure there are a lot more given how Everton seem to have some comsmic pull toward attracting players with a tendency for extremely bad luck.

Thinking of doing a video on the subject, any more examples that you can think of?
 


Yak snapping his Achilles when he’d started 08/09 in the same form as he ended the previous then being turned into a bit part player in favour of Saha
As I've said before.
I worked with Yaks brother ( he's a pharmacist ) and when talking about that injury at the time, it was an absolute shocker.
The grief Yak got for being 'fat' pissed him off as well coming back from that type of injury.
Absolute slotter was Yak and i loved the player.
