Diogenes the Cynic
Player Valuation: £40m
Admittedly there's going to be a lot of options for this considering how regularly players enjoy a once in a lifetime performance on the grass at Goodison but an interesting topic for discussion nonetheless.
I'm sure there's a good few examples that I could put down, I'm thinking of the times when someone has been so good I can just admire it instead of just being annoyed we've lost and what we could have done better.
These examples are a lot more rare. I mentioned one last night v Chelsea in 95 (we drew 3-3) and Gullit hardly moved from the centre circle, never lost the ball, never broke a sweat, always looked in control with time on the ball.
The one I always pick though was Denis Bergkamp when we lost 4-1 at the start of the season. He was absolutely unbelievable that game, just on another level not just against us but his team as well that game. Walking back with Dad and we both said it was worth the money just to watch him whatever the result. Imagine getting to watch someone like that every week.
