Everton Alumni Aiden McGeady

[GoldenToffee]

Hated it when we were linked with him.

Was gutted when he joined us.

Was furious every time he was on the field as he was, as I knew already, crap.

Was delighted when he finally left.

Exactly the same feelings I had with Bolasie, too.

Also to a slightly lesser extent, Iwobi.

 

[barneygumble]

My memories of him were us playing Krasnodar, and he was the player in presser and conducted himself solely in Russian and was applauded

Why is that my memory? Not sure



Side: that Hoodie was boss, was gutted mine wore down

 

[COYBL25]

Didn’t he play The Mother Superior in Train Spotting ?

 

[RD2910]

Like so many started with a lot of hope and promise. Was a top corner finish at leicester. It takes some doing for your debut to be your highlight.

You've got to question your agent if he's taking you from the colds of Scotland to the Tundra's of moscow. We loaned him to Wednesday so at least got a bit of revenge for that slug alexandersson, eventually fobbed off onto Sunderland around the same time as 'a few pints gibson', McGeady only retired just over 18 months ago. 18-38, two decades in the pro game. Must have trained like a world beater.

I don't think was his debut, was it? He was here in 2013/14.

 

[Drico]

The player whose signing confirmed Roberto Martinez as a charlatan.

Suffering McGeady for Ireland for years was one thing. You don't really choose who is eligible for your national team (although we try hard with our grannies). But to actually sign him and spend money on him? Utterly unforgivable. He summed up the vacancy residing in Martinez's head. A blind man's idea of a good player.

 

[Bryan+]

Chippy tits, crap tattoos and looks like he’s got a face that looks like he’s been told he has constantly been evicted from his house.

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

Not suited to the premier League, hard to find on Bluedle.

"Don't go east of Aden kids".

 

[Moomin]

AIDS

Him and Patto the worst ever Scottish players to ever wear the Everton shirt

 

[Howards tipple]

Another awful player to forget...

At least it might help me with Bluedle in the coming days.

Was never fit, didn't do anything.

Surprising sometimes how we've maintained our top flight status so long.

 

[EFCPaul]

Too lightweight and couldn't cross. I remember turning up massively out of shape as well. Was a waste of time.

He called Martinez out early for what he was though.

 

[Yarrgh]

I remember that he needed time to get up to speed after coming off the extended winter break in Russia. I presume in retrospect that he must have a novichok butty and polonium tea whilst he was on that break because he never recovered as far as I can tell.

 

[AndyP94]

Just remembered that he was never good enough. Didn't seem to play that often, probably because he wasn't fit or was injured.

 

[Cels]

Hes 40 today.

What are your memories of Aiden McGeady's time at Everton?

To be fair, he looks about 40 and on his third divorce in that photo.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Drank with him and his cousin one night in Donegal on a Tuesday night. Cousin was on soft drinks as playing county that Sunday. Aidan was playing on the Saturday for us and was on the pints.

Never fulfilled his potential for us or Ireland. Cousin won the All-Ireland.

 

[ArtetaMoney]

Honestly thought he’d be a great signing for us, which is why my opinion on footballers should be questioned at all times.
