Gary Lineker

[Kris75]

My hero for us as a kid, just heard he had no knowledge of his transfer to Barca. This is probably common knowledge and feel a dumbass but I didn't know this! Ha

Kendall was a pundit during the World Cup and he was always being pressed on Lineker being sold.

My idol as a kid growing up too. They say you should never meet your idols, as you will only be disappointed. Certainly true in this instance

Remember when we signed him, going to a pre season game at Wigan, testimonial for Brian Hamilton.
If I recall right it was the first time he played in an Everton shirt.

If only he hadn't of had to get those boots mended

 

[Roger Milla]

There's a clip of Venebles tapping him up on live TV, weeks if not months before he was sold. He even hinted at being a Barca the following season. He knew about it 100%.

This is how I remember this too.

Always think he has hardly aged!!

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

Sold 1 of my heroes when we signed him & then he left after a year, I don't recall him ever being pictured visiting Goodison since he left either he's only ever been back when he's got paid.

...he signed for them, so he must’ve had knowledge. I’m not overly bothered. Things happen.

 

[T LEAFE]

Venables involved in any scandal...?
No way
Tel wouldnt have got into any such behaviour allegedly surely not surely

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Part of the best team I have seen in blue

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Gets a hard time for never “acknowledging” having played for Everton, but I’ve seen him say on numerous occasions that we were the best team he ever played in, and that we’re the only team where he can still name every member of the XI that played with him.

" and it's Lineker to chase.. just look at his pace "

(Sure it was Luton at home)

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Won the league when he left
