Joe-Max Moore

He got called Joe Max-Moore a lot and had a streak of games in which he scored.

However it was during one of the most painfully dull periods in Everton's history so I've tried to wipe it completely from my memory. Looks like I've pretty much succeeded.

It was mad - he had like eight touches and scored from five of them in five straight games.

He basically mini-Jelavic'd.
 

I love him when he came like the other guys said we were mostly a british team full of players everyone knew ! we needed a foreigner nobody heard of and he was our man ! banged in goals when he first came then was injured /loss of form/no game time and think he fell out with walter smith as he hardly played after ! nice character tho !
 
Did OK and fitted in well given the quality of our team at the time, but was never going to set the world alight. The precursor to a string of much better US imports starting with McBride and eventually proceeding to the best US player of his generation in Donovan. Joe-Max the Baptist as it were.
 

Didnt he come from a really rich family? Nothing to do with football i know, just something i heard at the time, wonder if it was true?
 
I remember a game against Spurs at home where joe scored a last minute equaliser/winner (can't remember which think it was equaliser though). Anyway as we were celebrating the fella next to me picked me up and threw me 2 or 3 rows forward!! I came two and remember the crowd chanting USA, USA. The fella apologised and gave me a tenner to say sorry. I was only a youngun so I was made up!!

Also remember his song (one of my all time favourites) :

"Posh spice is a slapper, posh spice is a haw and when she's shagging Beckham, she thinks of Joe-Max Moore. Ohhhhh Joe-Max Moore how does she like it? Joe-Max Moore how does she like it?!!"

He fizzed in at Goodison like a freshly cracked can of Lemon Solo and left flatter than if that same can of Lemon Solo had been left opened above the Laundry Cupboard for the duration of his stay.
 

I have two memories one I remember him coming off because he had lost a contact lens and the other is a fella I know called his baby daughter Jo-Max Maureen.
