Would Higgins have been captain at this time? If not for injury he would have been captain in our 'Glory Years'.

English League Division One match at Goodison Park. Everton 1 v Tottenham Hotspur 1. January 1982 -

The game of a great volley from Sharp which he only ever bettered at the [Poor language removed] 3 years later (although one v sheff wed in semi was up there too!)

That’s the thing though if he hadn’t have been injured the glory years may never have happened as the ratcliffe and mountfield partnership for two seasons were virtually impregnable - would a different pair had the same success?! I guess the answer is well never know!

And then there's all the goals Mountfield scored, particularly in 84-85.

Yes both of these are pertinent; to quote Ronald Koeman: "That's football!"

I think Higgins was definitely better defensively - he almost certainly would have gone on to play for England. But he'd never have scored the goals that Degsy did.
