Limited but liked

[Azzurri]

James Vaughan. He was mainly limited by injuries of course, but that's because he was too hard working and brave for his own good. Always makes me smile when I see he's scored.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Kilbane. Bit of a knock and run merchant but his effort in some of today's players would be great.

Naismith. Knew what he could do and if played in the right position could do it to a decent level. Great attitude and classy off the field.

Tommy Grav could blow hot and cold.

You usually knew within the first five mins which Tommy Grav you were going to ge that day.

The Madrid players must've thought the Martians had landed when he turned up to the first day of training

I honestly thought Tommy Grav was well liked tbh. That guy was nuts and awesome all rolled up into a big ball of thunder. Cracking midfield alongside Carsley. Agree with the Real Madrid thing though.

I do agree mate, but he used to drive everyone mad with his inconsistency.

He was either brilliant or rubbish, no in-between.

Thanks, Boss.

Probably true, but I'd have him back now if he was in his pomp. I love the big arl baldy anyways. Same hair care products as me!

Naismith - a little bulldog of a player. I always thought if we could somehow put combine Naismiths' passion with Lukakus' talent and size, we would have had something extraordinary.
Gibson - if he could've just stayed healthy for more than a week at a time, he had the talent to be a legend.

No.

Send that last picture to Lukaku. Limited in his appreciation of just where he is.

Hibbo....

"He waits. That’s what he does. Then he shuffles. That’s how he moves. Side-step, side-step, side-step, tracking the bogey, marshalling it, gently manoeuvring it into position. And then he strikes. There is a heavy thump of boot on ball and a roar from the frenzied crowd. Patrice Evra spins through the night sky, landing heavily, the air driven from his lungs on impact. Unruffled and uninterested in the acclaim, Tony Hibbert gets to his feet and shuffles back into position. That’s what he does. He is not a superstar, he is not a brand. He’s just a bloody bloke.

There are certain expectations of a 21st century full-back. They must be auxiliary wingers, scampering up and down the pitch, tracking their man, but providing their own pressure on the flanks. They must be whippets in boots, probing and penetrating like a well thrown javelin. Hibbert probes and penetrates like a sledgehammer swung through the side of a shed. He’ll get forward occasionally, he’s even been known to set up the odd goal, but he has never, ever shared a sentence with the word ‘cavalier.’

This isn’t to patronise or denigrate his achievements. Hibbert made his debut for Everton in 2001 and you don’t get to play more than 250 Premier League games over an 11 year period purely because you’re a hard worker. Hibbert is intelligent, he doesn’t desert his post, he rarely switches off and he always, always makes sure that the man he is marking knows that he’s been marked. You can see why David Moyes has never sought to replace him. While Marouane Fellaini was the star of Everton’s opening night 1-0 victory over Manchester United, Hibbert typified his team’s efforts. He is, in many ways, Everton personified"

Still love you Tone XXX

That was a thing of beauty.
Stuart Hall-esqe... If that is still a good thing.

That hurts...

Duncan Ferguson.

Li Tie
Diniyar Bilyaletdinov

No one liked Bily. He was slow and crap and totally overpriced.

Gravesen was legit talented.

Kone

It's not!

Far too slow to be a winger yeah, but I always thought he was a "number 10" and if he'd have had a run of games there he'd have flourished.
