Dave Thomas and Bob Latchford.
To this day I still don't understand the reasons why some bright spark at the club decided it'd be a good idea.

Bob was some way past his best in 1981 and Sharpy was coming through. Yes, he had a stellar year at Swansea but I remember 80-1 and I think he scored only a handful.
The same could have been said of my hero Joe Royle who went on to success with City , but the Latch was a great replacement!
Again the European ban caused that sale it was badly managed though!

The post Heysel departures became inevitable when we couldn't offer European football
After Smith had blown his windfall, we couldn't afford to keep Materazzi or Dacourt who both had their best football years ahead of them
Rooney left to balance the books - too cheaply - when he was Europe's biggest star after Euro 2004.
Speed's departure was a terrible loss, what a player and Evertonian to boot.
A first challenging season in Sky Blue for Stones but I still think he can go on to have a stellar career, just wish it had been in Royal Blue. Lescott also got his head turned when he arguably played his best ever football at Goodison.
All subjective shouts, but on the whole I think we do better than most on selling - many don't go on to improve, Rodeell, Jeffers, Felli?
If you were to ask our worst ever signings, most could pick a contending X11 and bench in a few minutes!

Jon O'Connor - Only 5 games for the first team but looked like he could have been class. Didn't do much afterwards.
Gavin McCann - Could have had a much better career as he looked pretty good early on
Peter Beardsley - I suppose not much could be done when Newcastle came calling.

Brett Angell wouldn't even make that bench
He could stand in the corner with Glen Keeley
Or Andy made of Lagerlol

Hi Liam how are you?

I loved him but with hindsight you could even argue we sold him a year late. His last year for us was probably his worst, and I remember talk that clubs were willing to pay twice what we eventually got for him after his form the previous year.
Can't believe the buggers went and won the world cup while my foot was poorly.
Agreed but to be fair not many ever do.
