The red top headlines when he signed:

"Everton load with Ammo"

Pity someone forgot to add the powder ... and the bullet

Didn't he drop and damage the lid of the FA Cup during the home coming parade

Nodding his head a bit like a chicken.
That's my memory of him.

I remember him getting knocked unconcious during the home leg against Reykyavik in the Cup Winners Cup.

Bracewell was still going in 95?

His smile after scoring is my best memory of him. He absolutely loved scoring for us especially in that semi.

Broke down a few barriers as well, whether they were justified or unjustified perceptions.

Giving him a bear hug outside Villa park as he left on crutches.

Elland Road obviously. Also remember a game at QPR that season, we were dire and I think 2-0 down. Royle started with Brett Angell up front and from about half way through the 1st half we were all chanting "Amo, Amo", Joe brought him on 2nd half and he turned it round for us. We won 3-2 and he was the catalyst.

Was that QPR and Hinchcliffes free kick?

It sure was. Great day.

FA Cup semi final was his moment and one of my favourite ever Everton games. All the talk about it being 'spurs' year and the absolute media love fest for them and Klinsmann just made it a whole lot sweeter.
On national TV as well, think it was ITV so millions watched us absolutely destroy them.

Wasn't he the first Nigerian to play in the FA Cup final?

How good were his free kicks though? Couldn't believe we sold him. Never got enough England caps either.
