Kevin Sheedy

Perhaps Lukaku should follow Sheedy' s example and stop talking to the press.

If you play for the badge on the front of your shirt they will remember the name on the back of the shirt @everton@LivEchoEFC

Spent hours and hours as a kid trying to be Sheeds. Little brother in goal, me hitting shots from the edge of the box on the Astroturf on Warwick st.

Happy times. Miss you Mick.

All the fantastic memories of Sheeds,but the funniest I recall was an away game at Oldham(may have been one of those ill fated Cup games)stood on the open Terrace it was baltic,the team came out to have a bit of a "warm up" about twenty minutes before kick off,Sheeds came out last,did a half hearted touch your toes routine and beggared off back to the changieslollollol

...if ever a stray football comes my way I inevitably return it with a left foot rasper along with an accompanying shout of 'SHEEDY'.

....remember he told Neil Pointon not to get involved in a 50/50 with McMahon coz he'd get done. Pointon didn't heed that advice and got pollaxed. When McMahon later was on the receiving end and lay on the floor, Sheedy had a sly kick at him and then shuffled away. He didn't like the cold, he didn't tackle, he didn't run but what a footballer.

A bit more of this attitude would help now :

Was going to reply,he couldn't head either Eggs,but remembered the 5-0 v Man U when he got knocked out by Moran for a goal

He always looked freezing cold and I reckon I could outsprint him even now but he just oozed class. He clearly hated Liverpool as well which made me love him even more. I often wondered how he fitted in to jack charltons kick anything that moves hoofball Ireland team

Still shout sheedy sheedy sheedy whenever I score with left foot!! You just have to do it!!

Anyone remember it may have been 1986-87 season when Sheeds was switched to central midfield for a time?,he was awesome there too.

royalblue66 · February 15, 2015

Remember going to Belfield to watch them training, the squad were running around the pitch,and yards and yards behind was this lone figure, Sheeds, I was standing next to Duncan McKenzie,I said laughing "look at Sheeds" Duncan replied " he will be going for a shave in a minute,if he's not too knackered" one of the slowest players I have ever seen, but what a player.

Someone posted this on twitter the other day and I found it a fascinating watch. I can remember virtually everything about the 84-85 season and still have the old VHS tapes but I was quite ill during this season and in hospital for most of it so watching this is fascinating. Oh and it is on topic, there are some unbelievable Sheeds moments. The lobbed through ball being my favourite....
