Player Valuation: £750k
Putting all the takeover jarg to one side, how about thinking about the Everton players you've met and try to make a team out of them? Met Lee Carsley yesterday at my restaurant and was chuffed. Got me thinkin...and I'm a bit bored so here goes...

GK Dave Lawson (used to live near me when I was a kid - crap though!)
RB can't think of one!
CB Alan Stubbs (met him in the box at Brum pre-season)
CB Mick Lyons (met him at Ladbrokes in Waterloo years ago)
LB nope...
RM Graham Stuart (RM? Hmmm...met him in Spain about a year after the Wimbledon goals!)
CM Lee Carsley (legend if only for 'that' goal!)
CM Duncan McKenzie (fave player ever...met him in the box at WBA one year)
LM I'm struggling here!
ST Graeme Sharp (met him at Cockfosters tube car park on the way to the Emirates)
ST Bob Latchford (again, at the restaurant but ages ago!)

nightmare on the strikers though...I met Big Dunc at a public FA Cup display in town in 1995! I also met Dave Hickson at Goodison once and he could easily walk into any Everton team as a centre-forward. Brian Kidd too, sheesh. And Daniel Amokatchi at Wembley for the semi-final on Wembley Way!
 

Oh, and Howard Kendall multiple times, I don't think he's do much good in the pissed state he is always in though...
 
GK
RB - Hibbo, met him at BMW
LB - none
CB - Unsworth - saw him in town once
LW -
RW - Mcfadden - in Viva Brazil, told me he was signing for Everton :D
CM - John Ebbrrell - saw him walking next to Goodison, congratulated on his whopper v Stockport ( cringed as he walked away ..)
FW - Wayne Rooney - was in a shop which was closed off for him, and i trapped in the girls shoe section with him, his missus at the time ( no coleen, and my missus )
 

GK: Neville Southall (at "the match" (the TV Show) when I was living in the North-East, playing for the legends)
LB: Andy Hinchcliffe (Met him and Stuart outside Goodison before a Leeds game)
CB: Dave Watson (FA Cup Showing)
CB: David Unsworth (tree-trunk legs was at the Huyton Suite when my brother got an award)
RB: Tony Hibbert (went to my school)

LM: Nope
CM: Joe Parkinson (gave my little brother a goalie of the year award)
CM: Howard Kendall (at Wembley vs Chelsea, shook my hand)
CM: Graham Stuart (outside Goodison before a Leeds game, when he scored from the edge of the area.. think it was a deflection like)
RM: Andrei Kanchelskis at a cup game (Port Vale?) came over in the warm-up and my sister threw him the ball...

CF: Duncan Ferguson (was at Alder Hey)

Subs:
Jason Kearton (seen him in town)
Barry Horne (seen him on Paradise Street)
Gary Speed (seen him when he was playing for Newcastle in a pub in Newcastle)
Peter Beagrie (saw him at the match sitting)


Gutted because pretty much all of these was before phone cameras and such

Don't live in the UK any more so I don't think I'll see many outside the odd game I get to when back at home :(

Not a bad side though!

I suppose I could put Beagrie LM but I'd rather have an empty space there!

I can't include when they were wearing match day tracksuits because that would be the entire team. So away from the match environment I met Phil Neville in Manchester airport when we were both flying to New York. Not together sadly.

I met Graeme Sharp when I was playing under 11s footy he was the star player at prize night at the end of the season.

Oh I also met Peter Beardsley in Woolworth's. That was ace.
 
okay i cant be bothered making a team but ive met Dave Hickson so many times he knows me now - bless him, Brian Labone numerous times, Nigel Martyn, Gordon West, Ian Snodin, Mikel Arteta, James Vaughan, Steven Pienaar, Tommy Lawton, Howard Kendall, Stuart Barlow (in birkenhead market!!) Gary Speed, Steve Simonsen, Derek Mountfield, Phil Jagielka, Mike Newell, Unsy, David Weir, MY DUNCAN! xavier, Alan Stubbs, Andy Holden, Dave Watson theres loads more but my minds gone blank!
