No. John wasn’t a fan who made it from nowhere, he was a Liverpool fan, his brother Tony, a lovely lad, was a bitter blue who wouldn’t give you an inch arguing over Everton/ Liverpool, but that’s the way I was with him, died young Tony, well missed.
A true story about John, after he scored that own goal at Anfield for the Reds, he came in The Goblin, a pub just off Islington, the next day and this fella said to him “ I saw you on the East Lancs Road last night” John said “ Wasn’t me mate, I was in town all night” The fella wouldn’t have it and said “ It was you I saw on the East Lancs, Younwere heading for Liverpool, now get out of that”

Sorry about that in above post, it should have read “ Tony was a bitter Red “ not a bitter blue.

Billy Let Down, “ A very talented player” never saw that player to be honest, he would have been great at walking football, one of the slowest players I ever saw in a Blue shirt, cost a lot of money at that time as well.

...remember being at that game very well, i think Rooney had not long gone and it seemed like we’d produced another diamond. Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be but the lad has had a lengthy career in the game which seemed unlikely given his brittle knees.
i think we all remember him fondly.
Whereas we had players like Rodwell who never really took off, I always felt like Vaughan could have been a star if it wasn't for his injuries. Lad had a lot in his game. Wish him the best.

Nice fella too, saw him recently in Formby with his young lad at the shops, he actually thanked me for remembering him

...ah, that’s nice. I think he’s a Birmingham lad which is unusual given he came through our Academy. He always played like the game matters, I like him.

I said to him Eggs,I reckon you could still do a job for us up front James,he just said Oh God,I wish mate, I love that club!!
It was unfortunate the way his Everton career went. I really liked the lad and had high hopes for him. Tell what though, those fifteen years seem to have flown by

Ah, but for those accursed injuries. I thought he was a whole hearted player with more than just a little bit of craft as well as graft. A good reader of the game for someone so young at the time and a good leader of the line and I hoped he was going to have a good long career wit us.

I'm not stalking you today, honest, but I have so few occasions where I can actually reply. Such is life.
I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment as I thought Ossie had a sublime first touch. His reading of the game and intelligent runs and passes and attitude were never in doubt to me, but we all have our preferences I suppose.
As an aside, I CANNOT understand any fan criticising one of our own players. Hardly helps them, does it.Jeez, I'm not trying to make out I'm a Soopa Bloo or anything, but some of the criticism is beyond acceptance. Just as it is to namecall other posters with differing opinions
....yep, he had a really competitive edge to his game aligned with physicality that was always going to trouble defenders. Unfortunately the ‘glass knees’ were already problematic coming through the Academy, so he’s done really well to have such a lengthy career in the game.
