Ex-players who you miss seeing in the Royal Blue

[dholliday]

Ratcliffe for the spine

 

[Ollie d]

Peter Reid for the nous and aggression and to add a little bit of snide.
Adrian Heath because, well he's Adrian Heath.

 

[Toast]

Lineker at the age he was when he joined Everton would walk into any of the Everton teams of the last 30 years.

Kendall said he regretted not putting a first refusal buy back clause in when we sold him.
Should have come back to Everton, not Spurs.

 

[Ashtonian]

Favourite players i miss? Kanchelskis , Ferguson, Gary Speed, Southall, Graveson.

some team we would have if we had all of those in it.

 

[Eggs]

...it's funny looking on the old pictures thread, although they are still photographs i can still recognise the movement of players I watched so many years ago. I suspect it's the same for others, still having a picture in your mind of those lads.

 

[sageyefc]

The yak,
Arteta in his pomp,
Manny fernandes
Moutinho

 

[Groucho]

Do you mean still playing, elsewhere?

Rooney
Ruddy
Fellaini on a good day

 

[AdamEFC]

Arteta, think he would be brilliant in this team.

 

[gaino92]

Arteta prior to ACL injury. Put him alongside barry/McCarthy and he would run the show!! Think Rodwell had he stayed fit would have been a brilliant player for us too

 

[blueloon]

Dixie Dean - you youngsters don't know what a proper footballer is.

 

[Steve0]

Big Dunc and Andrei Kanchelskis

 

[Timak]

My horribly unbalanced Everton XI excluding those players from from the glory years and those still on our books.

Had to put Neville in as right back given the alternatives. Unlucky to miss out are Weir/Stubbs/Unsworth and Materazzi in defence; Parkinson, Carsely and Gravesen in midfield and Yak up front.

Martyn
Neville Watson Lescott Hinchcliffe
Arteta Cahill Kancheskis
Beardsley Rooney
Ferguson

 

[Gwladys Nights]

Rooney, Dunc, Manny.

 

[tsubaki]

Brett Angell. Watching him run around at Goodison did make one feel there was a slight possibility that one's own dreams of a top flight career as a footballer would come true.

 

[COYBL25]

Andy Gray coming in with his head at knee height in the box without any fear.

Dave Thomas, socks rolled down with no shinnys, crossing to Bob Latchford who you just knew was going to be in the right place.

Ian Snodin hunting for out the snides from other teams and leaving his foot in.

Daniel Amokachi for that big smile when he scored.

Tommy Grav for just being a mad man.

Pyscho Pat for the way he frightened opposing players just by staring at them .

Peter Beardsley for just being a sublime player.

The Straqu for overcoming his limitations through sheer effort and will power . ( has any Everton player ever tried as hard as him ? ).
