This. I played int he same side as Mick when he was getting old and you could see his quality then. As I recall he was furious with David Moyes for selling Sean. I'm saying no more...

Sean left Everton almost a year before Moyes joined so your memory is playing tricks.

You're right mate. Apologies, I have my stories mixed up! I'll speak to Mick and see who he fell out with at Bellfield.

Never got how Neville went from being an average player at Utd to being the club captain of Everton Football Club.

He was average at Utd and average at Everton.

One word mate. Moyes.

For what it's worth my rage has always been for Wayne Rooney.

....I think Sean has done ok for himself, players agent I understand. Lets not forget if it wasn't for Sean Doherty we wouldn't have Seamus Coleman. Sean's dad, Mick, was a scout and went over to watch Sean playing for Sligo and noticed Seamus. The rest is £60k worth of history.

Are you sure about that, Eggs?

I always heard that Willie McStay, then manager at Sligo and a mate of aMoyes from when they were both youngsters at Celtic, sent Seamus over to Wee Davey for a trial.

I have never of this Sean Doherty's arl fella being involved.

Steve McMahon. No contest.

Absolutely. Was it Ratcliffe who once said he just could never understand how he went so Red after his move?

Fair points those mate but don't the very happy memories that mikel gave us all while he was in a blue shirt outweigh him being competitive for another team after leaving us?

About Moyes - in hindsight the whole departure was distasteful and his comments came across as a lack of class or dignity at the time. In retrospect we now know the pressure he was under having failed to sign players for Man U - so the comments you mention probably reflect his real frustration at the time rather than trying to put down Martinez? I'd imagine Moyes probably has a lot of professional respect for Martinez. I was angry like most when the 'facts' about moyes leaving became clearer. I wasn't certain about martinez before he came - but in hindsight what do i know about football management???. As people i only met Moyes once in person and he was pleasant but dull company. Likewise I've only met Martinez once and he is was interesting and intelligent company. Personality aside David Moyes did well for us considering where we were as a club and a team so I don't wish him any ill will but i was happy all the same about the way things worked out last season for us and Man united.

Good point mate. Funnily enough I was watching a clip of the 3-0 derby win today and loved how ace he was in that. I will always remember those moments fondly because he was real school of science for me. But I still think his long attachment to us and the warmth the fans showed towards him should have been enough to cut out the card waving gestures in the first game at theirs after his transfer and especially the injury feigning malarkey in the cup game. As I said in my post I have no problem with honest commitment to his new team. Competitive does not mean cheat to gain an advantage in my book. Just felt he over stepped the mark and that tarnished my attitude towards him.
Moyes will continue to divide us I think. The one time I met him briefly he was warm, friendly and in great spirits in a situation pre match when I expected him to be prickly. I certainly did not want him to leave us but was frustrated that he seemed unwilling to believe in the team he had actually created and kept them on a leash a bit instead of letting them become a really attack minded team. But I think you are being generous to him about his comments about EFC and Martinez. I agree he was certainly under tremendous pressure at OT but still think he could have been capable of keeping to less patronising comments than he did. I am sure he does have a high professional opinion of RM. Who would not? He has achieved a lot. I don't hope he crashes and burns completely but his send off from us was second to none and I expected better from him.
