Why were goalkeeper kits so thick back in Nevs day. I used to have that black Umbro one, horrible to wear 😅
I remember meeting a Russia Evertonian in Ukraine who was an Everton fan based on that black kit and similarity with lev Yashin .

Also battling with autocorrect and that name is 5 mins of my life I’m never getting back
 
Matt Le Tissier should know a thing or two about how good keepers are...

The last couple of weeks i've been watching season reviews of the early 90s teams (91/92, 92/93, 93/94, 94/95)

All 3 seasons there are at least 5 or 6 times were Big Nev gets completely done and you would expect even a standard level goalkeeper to save.

It got me thinking, i was pretty much a fan from 94 and my memory's of Southall were obviously the Cup Final, but after that nothing hugely memorable.

And judging by my small snippets I've got from the season reviews, he's either not great, not bothered or at least on the decline in the early 90s

So without obviously seeing the mid 80s Southall (84-88) was he only good for a small amount of his Everton career and possibly below par the rest?

I have my shield and hat ready for the insults and fear i may get accused of going a bit Talksport, but its a genuine question
I'm just watching some old England stuff .....86 and 90 world cups in particular...
England have 2 World Cups right there if Nev was English .... End off 😉👍

....also would not have to be injured in 86...in which case we win the double as well 😉

I don't think he is beaten by the Brehme deflection, for starters...

Peter Shilton played very competently for England - in particular against Cameroon - but the Germans provided a test too far for his aging frame and slowing feet.

He was also notoriously woeful at penalties for such a great goalkeeper.
