Most likeable Everton player ever?

That's quite an anecdote. What was your silly comment about the Northern Lights, did you try and call them aurora borealis and mispronounce?


John Ebbrell

A lovely chap. I bumped into him once on a night out in Northampton. I complimented him on his shoulder positions and nice mouth when the subject of his surprisingly-spelt name came up. He was completely open about it and said something along the lines of "Yeah, double B and double L does seem a touch excessive, but I stuck with it". We spoke a bit about how the table was slanted more towards him and I made a silly comment about the Northern Lights, which I regret.

Anyway, he was in my top 3 most likeable players for years, until Jay Rodriguez recently bumped him down to 4th.

Baines, Seamus and Cahill come to mind. Had a mate in Australia meet Cahill, said he was gushing about Everton half the time and even tho Timmy never had to pay for any drinks/rounds, he bought them the whole afternoon/evening.



I hate that guy so much. He was/is a United supporter.
 
I met Tomas Brolin once and he claimed to have played for Everton.

He wasn't that likeable though, looking back. Had a massive ball of string hanging out of his pocket too, bit weird.
 
For me its Big Dunc!

Also mention for Kevin Kilbane who seems like the nicest guy on the planet. Rhino too!
 
Hibbert, solely because what the night would be like after he had scored to put us 5-2 up at Anfield.
