'And Alan Harper the substitute has scored for Everton, he got free on the right and Harper who trained as a full black this morning,but played in midfield today showed a forwards instinct'

have never ever forgot that commentary from Motson...........v Sheff Wed in FA Cup semi 1985?

Came across this, a very underrated player, interview with Howard at the end.

They never showed the missed penalty by Graeme Sharp. This was the game that showed we were ready to overtake Liverpool on the field, we didn’t have long to wait.

I bloody loved Howard Kendall. Could listen to him all day. Never will there be a bigger Evertonian.

Moon Cat. Only just found out he worked at Liverpool under Roy Hodgson.

86. Lookat the jersey, Mimms in goal (Nev broke his ankle at Lansdowne in a WC qualifier and Lineker.

Should have won the domestic double that year and the European Cup!!

Probably the ugliest player we've ever had.

Plug out of the Beano comes to mind , but still a great filler player for us of many positions..........

 

[Frang]

Not in a world where Beardsley, Keown and Lescott exist he isn't

Very true, despite the fact he played/covered two or three positions it was never really truly obvious during games he was filling in! Always gave 100% for the team and unless my memory is giving me trouble there was never any tantrums or histrionics when he was left out or on the bench!
Very important member of the squad during his time!

The most important game was Bayern Munich away when we had a very makeshift team and came away with a 0-0 draw - not sure if he, and Richardson filled in, out of position..?

Vaguely remember it being a team set up to get the 0-0, and that they both played - not sure who was missing though or why!
