EVERTON TILL I DIE

Player Valuation: £1m
There was nothing like quietening that Kop. When you stuck a goal in there it all went quiet, apart from a bit of choice language aimed in your direction! Scoring there was a delight to me. I just used to turn round to the crowd and bow three times to themâ€
Dixie Dean.....................................................................................................................................

Duncan Ferguson elbowed me in the neck three times and I was beginning to get a bit angry. I swore at him in Austrian and I know he couldn’t possibly have understood it. Even so, he suddenly swung round and thumped me in the stomach. He got sent off, but I began to appreciate how he earned his reputation as a hard man. It was a nice punch, I have to say.â€
Paul Scharner.................................................................................................................................

When I signed, I was told I was going to be the first of many big money signings. Someone was telling fibsâ€.
John Collins....................................................................................................................................

Everton have always been noted for going out on the pitch to play football. We got called the school of science quite rightly. The other lot, the Reds…. well they were a gang of butchers! …. they should have been working in an abattoir. McNab, McKinlay, the Wadsworths. God bless my soul. They’d kick an old womanâ€
Dixie Dean......................................................................................................................................

I’d break every bone in my body for any club I play for but I’d die for Evertonâ€
Dave Hickson................................................................................................................................

Football was never the same for me after I left Everton and although I always wanted to win, losing never really seemed to hurt anymore.â€
Kevin Ratcliffe.................................................................................................................................
 

That Dave Hickson one has been my favourite for donkeys. An absolute gentleman and a true Evertonian.

Bally's "Once Everton has touched you...." is another cracker.
 
Now don't forget lad one evertonian is worth twenty Liverpudlians, that's how biased I am about this club. It's the best, the biggest and the best.

Brian Labone RIP
 
The Hickson one has always been a fav of mine , like Ratcliffe's too , both show what playing for Everton meant to them , and what playing for Everton should be about for every player that gets that chance .
 

"Right lads, we've got a lead here, let's keep it tight second half, no silly back passes or daft fouls and we'll be ok."

Hickson & Ballys are the best bar none.

Didn't Landon come out with some good ones as well?
 

I have been received more warmly by Everton than I have by Liverpool. It is scandalous that I should have to write these things about the club that I helped build into what it is today. - Bill Shankly, testament to our great club.
