Depending how far back you want to go, it would have to be an Alan Ball.

Good luck trying to find anyone close.

Thanks CS for posting this, just watched it and you really do almost forget how good a player he was, just like Andy Gray we got him on the cheap because he thought to be a crock, along with Seamus and Andy Gray he must rate as one of our best value buys and he goes to show also what a manager Howard was to spot such talent at knockdown prices.

Gary Speed out of those choices. Joe Parkinson could have been on the list there.

Paul Bracewell.

None of them tbf.

How about some names from players when we actually competed/won stuff?

Thomas Gravesen was the biggest myth at everton football club.

1 good half season but the rest of the time just ran around like a look not really doing much.
Couldn't tackle, didn't score goals and had issue's with discipline

For people to pick him over the likes of Arteta, Cahill & Gary Speed is a joke

Ball Harvey and Kendall, or Sheedy Reid - Bracewell - Stephen
those were magical midfields......

I'd love the Gary Speed that played for Leeds

How he ended up at Real Madrid is still one of the mysteries of life.

You could tell within a minute whether he was going to have a bad game.

If his first pass went to an opposition player, you knew he was going to stink the place out.

Total nutter and must`ve been great to have in the dressing room.

Arteta for me although we do miss Barkley's driving runs.

Alex Nyarko? Midfield General?

In what bizarro parallel universe was he a midfield general? Even against this list of fair to middling players you couldn't make a case for him.

Not impressed with this poll. Having said that, I did like some of those players and they'd get in ahead of the current squad.
