Limited but liked

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Terry Darracott!!!!!!!!

 

[Shibbywiggles]

No.

He was a great athlete, as demonstrated by his overhead against Chelsea and the one you put there and he had a knack for getting himself in goal scoring positions in the box but he wasn't the most skillfull footballer. I think it shows that the picture you chose has a quote about how much he loves us and that is why I love him too. He is everton personified but he wasn't the best footballer.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Tim Cahill.
Not actually that good of a footballer but I loved him and always wanted him in the team (other than his final season).
He also left just as he was starting to go downhill which is a very smart thing to do (see Howard, Osman, ruining their rep)

I'll argue with this actually, I never really took to Cahill for some reason. But the lad did show a snide to him which I admired and his movement was a joy to behold. Top class in that regard. And has done it at big international stages.

 

[Cels]

George Wood
Mike Lyons
Mickey Walsh

 

[Groucho]

Paul Rideout

It could be argued that he was good enough to score the winning goal in a cup final.

 

[TippEverton]

Li Tie
Joe Parkinson
Allesandro Pistone
David Unsworth

Super Joe should never be in a list between gash players like Tie and Pistone.

 

[Toast]

Wow, Martin, Gough, Rideout ?
I certainly wouldn't say any of these were 'limited', I'd suggest we only saw them towards the end of their careers ?
Gough ? Christ, how boss must he have been at his peak as he was still superb for Everton.

 

[Khalekan]

There is a whole raft of them from the 70s and early 80s.

Jim Pearson

Gary Jones

Imre Varadi

Mick Bernard

John Gidman

John Bailey

Ian Marshall

Happy days

 

[kev]

Gerard Deulofeu
There IS a player in there somewhere. He has the ability (when arsed) to have people on the edge of their seats.
I can't help but like him, BUT the simple truth is that he delights and frustrates in equal measure.
That is why I consider him limited.

I thought of John Bailey
But his medal count put paid to that
And his goal v Luton

 

[davids]

Joe Harper always gave 100% but couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo.

 

[EFCPaul]

Lucas Neill. Came in for a few months on a free, did a job when used and then moved on for a small profit. Can't ask for more than that.

And he snapped Carragher's leg in two like a kit kat, always respect him for that.

 

[GerryandthePaceMerchants]

Big Dunc. Only had one setting: flat track bully, effective and passionate but limited

Cahill was a boss footballer. A god

Mickael Madar

Anyone who thinks he was a bad player doesn't deserve eyes.

Great touch and control, strong in the air and could finish. He also managed to strike up a good partnership with Ferguson (seeing as Ferguson didn't like him). A player like him would have been boss 5 years down the line in the Premier League.

One (awful) miss in the derby and a bad haircut and every deems him rubbish.
