Roger Kenyon & Brian Labone-69/70 - best centre back pairing for us ever? -

They were great servants for the Toffees back in those times. The year of the Championship win where Rog stepped in to cover for captain Labby in the run in to glory. Found out recently that the EPL, whose ruling for appearances is 5 games for a medal will be retrospectively applied to that time which means Rogers 8 gets him one. Long time coming but so well earned and deserved.
 
All subjective Joey as I'm sure you'd agree. I for one, not for one moment, ever thought of John other than a vital member of the team.
I can think possibly of one other who was under the radar in my mind and that was Alan Harper.

…we had an interesting thread on this some time ago. Harper was a fine utility player, not as talented as Kevin Richardson who went on to real success when he left.

Personally, I’m more inclined to consider regular starters. John Hurst and Paul Bracewell are terrific nominees &/I’d include Johnny Morrissey in the same category.

Moggsy was a fantastic player for us but for some unfathomable reason, it was only after he'd left us that I realised exactly how pivotal he was for us. By that I mean he was our protector.
