Are there any obvious ones at Everton that were written off that turned out to be great?

Nick Chadwick springs to mind

I love that football fans think they know more than professionals that spend their entire working life studying players because they googled something

It's not just football fans, it's men in general typically aged 18 - 50ish. It's called the Joe Rogan effect.

Did you google that by any chance

When we got rinsed 5 nil by Benfica he was signalled out as never going to be good enough defensively for us. Its easy to judge players early on but it's always a mistake to do so in my opinion and you can bet your last dollar that Aznou hasn't been deemed not good enough by our coaching staff as they will see he can be moulded into a first teamer in future hence why patience is required

I was there, terrible game. I wrote him off myself...shows what I know

Fellaini, Piennar and Arteta (even Baines) made very slow starts to their Everton careers. Whilst they weren't written off their early appearances gave little indication about how good they would become.

Anthony Gordon was too lightweight to make it I seem to remember some saying though my memory isn't the most reliable nowadays

Wasn't it the opposite that he scored a few goals from the bench so we thought we had another wonder kid striker but he ended up a dud? I seem to remember Phil Jevons was highly thought of despite doing absolutely nothing for us

Maybe some kind of online vigil can be held, thoughts and prayers and all that!

The only thing of note I seem to remember about Jevons was him scoring a winner for Grimsby against L'pool.

And that still stands

Dunno. Just made me laugh when I typed it. I don't remember him ever scoring if I'm honest. Cadamarteri would fit the mould of rapid hero to zero.

He did ok at Plymouth but I don't think that even his mum would say he was "great"

Went to the Rick Wakeman gig at the Phil last night and as his encore he played Merlin from King Arthur.....it's a sign I tell you.
