Aye.

How folk are saying Walter Smith was equally as bad is beyond me. I know Smith was not great, but he wasn't as bad as Mike Walker.

Quiz question for you. During his berief time at the club, Walker released Paul Tait (who??) on a free to Wigan, but also sold 4 players who had previously played for our first team. Who were these 4 players?

I just remember us being very lightweight and having very little team spirit. It was the worst Everton team I've seen.

Yes, nice Googling

Beagrie went one way (to Man City?) on the same day Limpar joined us, unless I'm mistaken

I know Sharpy's last goals were in that 4-4 RS game in 1991, so I'm thinking it was probably Kendall who sold him? Not sure, though, it's just a guess...

Didn't need to Google I'm just very sad!!! He also sacked Billy Kenny.

One thing that stands out in my memory was the support being more vocal than I can ever remember. It was a given that the atmosphere would be electric v Wimbledon but as the poor form got even worse into the start of the next season the crowd really rallied behind the team.It was the 1st year of the park end stand as well which helped.Royle then took over and the amazing support continued.1 of my favourite seasons

How we didn't get relegated I will never know. I wanted a Mike Walker/Ray Wilkins "dream team" :blush:

I thought we were really doomed, cos the first time we dropped into the relegation zone all season was after getting beat 3-0 at Leeds the week before that Wimbledon game. That was horrendous, just slipping into it with one game to go!

What made the impending doom seem inevitable was going 2-0 down to Wimbledon early on, after conceding a completely unnecessary penalty and an own goal!! Completely self-inflicted!!!
