Kevin Sheedy - Legend

[Hong Kong Bluey]

97 goals in 357 games. Created far more.
What a player he was.

My favourite Everton player, he was my hero as a kid, but he also broke my heart and I've never forgiven him!
My first Everton match was the 85 Charity Shield and I was at the tunnel trying to get the players autographs. Kevin Ratcliffe, Big Nev and Sheedy walked past and I shouted over excitedly. The 2 Welsh boys signed my programme and Sheedy said I'll see you in a bit.........
He never came back to me. God it still hurts............
What a player!!!!!

I loved the day he scored direct from the fee kick versus Ipswich.

Ref spots some infringement and makes him take it again.

No bother, says Kev.

And promptly blasts the retaken free kick into the other corner of the net

This one

Finest player I've seen pull on the blue shirt. Won us the 1987 championship nearly singlehandedly, with Kevin Langley and Neil Adams in the same midfield.

My favourite three Sheedy moments -

• The Ipswich free kicks
• Flicking the V's at the Kop after scoring in the derby
• The third goal v Rapid Vienna after they had got it back to 2-1, straight down the other end and Sheedy makes it 3-1.

Good times!

......giving McMahon a sly kick when he was lying injured on the ground and then moving away in case he was seen. No pace, no tricks just a top footballer.

Can't believe no one has mentioned the horrendous (in some people's mind) two footed tackle he did on a prone McMahon in a Goodison Derby, only tackle I ever saw him do!
