In terms of passion and livewire play, lacking on the technical side, i'm torn between Dunc and Cahill. Dunc's my childhood hero, like, Timmy for the teens, but as far as these days go i'm gonna vote Bainesy. I just love his modesty, how he's a pro at everything, complete no bull**** player, just look how he handles himself on the field - honest, decent, brilliant technically, lets his feet do the talking.
Throughout these last years he's been responsible for winning us a few games single-handedly. Played every minute, defending has been getting better and better, and turning grimy looking seasons into much better ones.
Remember the first game we won in 10/11, against Birmingham? Timmy scored, but Baines was the one who pushed on and got that cross in. Pretty much instrumental, too, in our games against Chelsea recently, especially the one that went to penalties in the FA cup. Admittedly not the superbly angry fighting-spirit Evertonian, what he lacks in passion he makes up for in being a most competent servant, a big cog in a no-bull**** working class head-down-and-get-on-with-it-machinery. And that kind of **** makes me jizzzzzzzz
