[Jamo Martinez]

Southall
Stevens
Van Den Hauwe
Ratcliffe
Mountfield
Reid
Bracewell
Steven
Heath
Sharp
Sheedy

Heath was a much better player than Gray.....however, Gray was fantastic for us. And I also procrastinated between Mountfield and Watson.

True about Heath.

Watson wasmore solid defensively but Mountfield was more of a goal threat

Mountfield and Ratcliffe were a cracking partnership at the back, throw in to the mix Mountfield’s goals and it was ideal - just a shame that his knee went!

My grandad was 10 when that was taken. Probably saw them play.

My best team was:
Sagar
Greenhalgh
Dugdale
Lello
Jones
Farrell
Corr
Wainwright
Dodds
Fielding
Egglington

If there had been subs in those days then: Stevenson, Boyes, Grant, Bentham.

Jack the Ripper juking out at the back there..........with his top hat..

 

[The Trinity.]

The mid 1980s team was the best that I have seen. Followed by the team.that won the league in 1970. Although I was only 12 then. And only saw that team a few times. Saw the 1980s team many times......
But I also liked this bunch of player's..
G . Woods or D.Lawson
Darracott.......Lyons......McKnaught......Pejic.
Rioch.......King......Dobson......Thomas.
McKenzie......Latchford.
Shame that that mainly bunch of players couldn't have won something. I suppose looking back that a stronger defence might have pushed them over the line........the midfield and attack was great though......

flicking the ash in the cups

 

[The Trinity.]

My best Everton all-time select team. From players that I actually saw.
Southall.
Stevens.......Lyons......Labone.......Ratcliffe........Baines.(never actually saw R.Wilson.....K.Newton had taken over).
The Holy Trinity....
Bob Latchford....... G.Linekar. ( Although you could find a case for about 6 or 7 forwards).
One of my favourite ever players was Mike Lyons. So had to find a place for him.
My team lines up.......3-5-2.....

 

[Jamesblue90]

Pickford

Hibbert Alcaraz Kroldrup Martina

Iwobi Davies Klaasen Cleverly

Sandro Niasse

 

[TippEverton]

...69/70, but a rizzla paper to 1985.

Both before my time but why do you think that team fell away so quickly the following year ?

Think I recall big Joe and one or two others mentioning the world cup in Mexico being a factor.

 

[TippEverton]

Southall
Coleman Watson Jagielka Baines
Parkinson
Kanchelskis Fellaini Arteta Pienaar
Lukaku

Too soon to include James, but carries on as he is over a significant period of time and he walks into it, the fact Rooney didn't do it here for long enough is the reason he's out.
