Not if the top of his game remains mid to lower PL level. I love him, but he’s needs trophies to enter the conversation with Southall. The top of his game was European trophies, league titles, and FA Cups.

That said, Pickford’s loyalty is endearing, but you never get kudos for that in tne harsh world of the greatness stakes without medals.
Doesn't that also depend on your fellow players, and the management/coaching staff?

Not at club level, no. The best players can pick the best clubs. I think Pickford can pick trophy-contending clubs, too, by the way. I'm pleased he hasn't - but I'm more hoping that he won't have to and can win trophies with us now too. That HAS to be the aim.

Southall did have a far better team in front of him. Some blue tinted glasses,at the end of his time Southall was very average. The 2-6 game v QPR he didn't look that bothered.

Can vaguely remember him struggling under Mike Walker and then had a bit of a renaissance after Royle took over. I think he got man of the match for us in the cup final if I remember rightly
 
Watson got the official one, but nearly every other opinion had Southall as. Trevor Booking (if I recall right) had a brain fart that day...
Neville had a very good game, but by his standards that wasn't surprising. He'd started to put on a bit of weight by then which got more pronounced towards the end of his time at Everton. He kept us up single handed some seasons though, always be grateful he stayed on the sinking ship.
