Daniel Amokachi - your memories

kevinyahoo100 · February 23, 2016

Hello there.

I'm writing an article about Daniel Amokachi (it's a kind of Where Are They Now? thing) and I want to get fans' memories about him as a player. Any memories/stories you have - good or bad - please post them here. Doesn't even have to be a story/memory as such, could just be your general view on his time at Goodison. Especially good would be any personal memories you have of meeting him/seeing him around town - stuff like that.

I'd want to use some of the your quotes for the article, which will appear on the Yahoo Football website this week. So if you don't want your comments to be used then let me know, and they won't be.

Some of you may remember I already did one of these earlier in the season on Joe-Max Moore: https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/blast-past-joe-max-moore-102417900.html

Cheers,
Kevin

Didn't he open up a boutique and learn to fly?

I remember him intervening to save a bus of orphans once, a proud Everton moment.

No actually hang on that was Superman.

Ok the Elland Road semi final.

I liked that he was boss at the World Cup that time.

Anyone remember that half time a few years ago when some ex players came out on the pitch, some legends as well, to mooted applause... Then Amo came out and the place erupted lol

Being at a girls party as a young teenager with the semi final against Spurs. I was usually an extremely polite child, but I could not hold back a stream of excitable expletives as Amo scored. Loved his nodding head, smiling celebration. The fact he wasn't even supposed to be on the pitch made it even more fairytale. What a semi-final!
I managed to watch the whole match despite the mother of the girl threatening to throw me out.

A cult hero in the Straq mould. Rubbish player, kept on running and kept on grinning.
Cheers for the semi final goals, even though you did your best to miss them.

He scored the first ever champions league goal but not at Everton.

On topic please.

Knocking at his house in the Orchard near Aigburth Vale 2 days after we won the Cup in 95' he opened the door with his quilt around him, I think we woke him up, he looked exhausted!

He was sound thou an gave the 3 of us a signed photo of himself in his FC Bruge kit! #amoamo

My memory of him was the F.A cup semi final vs Spurs.

Coming on as a sub despite Royle not making the change, scoring two goals and sending us to wembely. Still one of my favorite celebrations seeing him running to the corner flag nodding his head after he scored, tongue out and big smile on his face. As a kid he was my first everton hero for doing that.
