If you had 3 winners medals to hand out

Title - Latchford
FA Cup - Duncan (did first say Ferguson but realise he won the FACup so lets say MacKenzie for being magic and upsetting the dour Moyes-like Gordon Lee)
League Cup - Mick Lyons

To add to (or perhaps Hijack) the thread if you could give 3 of our managers who didn't win anything those honours who would you give them to? Mine are:

League title: Bingham
FA Cup: Harvey
League Cup: Moyes
Simod Cup or Freight Rover Trophy or whatever the worst possible trophy is: Martinez
Suerly Gordon Lee deserves the title medal,19 games unbeaten at the start of 78/79, one League cup final defeat and two fa cup semi defeats, no manager unluckier than him.
Fa cup would go to Walter Smith (for putting up with Johnson as chairman) and League cup to Harvey.

I wanted Bingham to have the title as my memory was we got pretty close to it under him and he was very hospitable to me and my family when I was a kid and visited Bellfield to watch the team train.

By the same time I am probably unjustly unfair to Lee as I remember him as the manager who took over from Bingham and seemed to want to stamp out Duncan MacKenzies flair (remember a quote from him that "stars are what are in the sky not on a football pitch" or similar). As a kid when Liverpool were winning everything and us nothing MacKenzies flair was one of the few things I could be pleased about with Everton.

But yes, I am probably unfair to Lee.

God, we were so close to success in those days under both those managers....
 
Hold on...

...Moyesie's having that if this Dutch lad is claiming a Johann Cruyff shield on his CV.
 
Going to do it in the time i've been watching...

Title = No title winners in any of the teams I have seen unfortunately other than Rooney and can't say him.
FA Cup = Tim Cahill
League Cup = Tony Hibbert or Phil Jagielka
 
I'd hand the three to Baines. He deserves the fantasy medals. He'll retire with no actual medals and he's one of us etc. Congratulations to the naughtiest Left Back in the world, lad.

Nailed it there @davek ......should also get his grid on the new Goodison displays for his haircut and taking his guitar to the World Cup ( where he likely serenaded Jags to fight off the home-sickness).
 
Title = Antolin Alcaraz
what a player

FA Cup = Arouna Kone
the hat trick against sunderland deserves eternal praise

League Cup = Tom Cleverley
loved by all and needs more than just a place in our hearts
 
Give Niasse the title to go with his fictional best player in Russia title

Give Ossie the fictional cup medal so its burns his soul to look at it and remind him of his turd of a final performance in 2009

Give the fictional League Cup medal to referee Alan Robinson for his efforts.

I'd give them, in any order, to Kenwright, Green, and Earl. They'd come with a plaque saying "This is what ambition and cash for the Gaffer can get you raging muppets!!!"
