After the Southampton game, I was challenged by my old man to name a full Everton eleven who all had surnames beginning with 'H'. Which I managed (without google) eventually. We then worked out ten of an eleven all starting with 'S', but time ran out and we were still a CM short there.
For the record, there was a little leeway over positions/formations but it wasn't just any 11 players who happened to have surnames beginning with that letter, otherwise Steve Simonsen could have covered our gap in CM. Thinking about it later, I reckon 'B' and 'W' might be possible.
Here we go.

Can't believe anyone hasn't stuck Gordon West in.George Wood was better than Wright, Wessels or Westerveld.
