Graham Stuart Appreciation Thread

[Groucho]

Hi all. Seeing as he took the time out to speak to @Adam-GOTTV I thought today we could take a look at the Everton career of Graham Stuart. You can see the interview here: https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/media/facebook-live-with-graham-stuart-goodison-park-youtube.157/

That Wimbledon goal perhaps is THE most important goal (along with Gareth Farrely's don't forget) in the club's entire history. I shudder to think of what may have been today.

Here's THAT day.....



Also played his part in our last trophy win, he was signed by Howard Kendall in his second spell in charge from Chelsea. The club have clearly left a lasting impression on him as he now lives back on Merseyside and still works for the club.

After leaving Everton as a player, he always received a reception warmer than the one we gave to the contemporary Everton players in the same match, such was his impact on us here!

....yep, scored a goal that writes his name in Everton history. We are all grateful for that. Nice bloke, Diamond geezer.

 

[Muggins]

Top bloke is Graham. Will always have a place in my heart..

Great thread Groucho..!

 

[Seathestars]

I liked him, underrated I thought, he fell for Everton as well which is always nice.

God bless Han Seagers!

 

[ste d' indica]

One of the few Everton players I've had the privilege to meet, albeit briefly. Really nice guy.

 

[Groucho]

Just to clarify, let's keep to Graham Stuart here - discussion on the featured game is for another thread, but always remember that Hans Segers was never saving those first two, AND this game was proven to be NOT FIXED.

Anyway, that'll be all for Wimbledon discussion in this thread.

Graham Stuart must be one of the few opposition players to be applauded by us when scoring against us....

 

[Howards tipple]

Superb guy and one of the most level headed pundits about, doesn't seem to need his ego massaging at every opportunity. I like how he took Everton to his heart and always has time for the fans when ever I have seen him.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Good player, top man. One of those players who always gave his best. Evertonian now as well.

He left just as he had hit a bit of a brick wall with his form at Everton. Was still a steady player but once he left he got his wind back and carried on playing very well for a good few years. Was a very good player for us and is now part of our history. Glad he is back and shows a true love for us. Well spoken and knows his stuff.

 

[Donald Twain]

Good player and he strikes me as a bit of a cheeky little sausage !

 

[Furey1878]

Shame he never buried the chance in the cup final.

 

[nickydisco]

Scored the first Everton goal at my first game I went to, will always remember that

 

[BlueLlama]

Shame he never buried the chance in the cup final.

And thank God for Rideout!

Played his part well for us but would be a legend just for those 2 goals.

As mentioned by others a genuinely nice guy too
