PLAYERS THAT LEFT AND BROKE YOUR HEART

[alan ball]

I think the first player that left and broke my heart was the shock sale of Alan Ball to Arsenal. Secondly, I was shocked when Billy Bingham let Joe Royle go down to the end of the east Lancs road to join Manchester City.
Later on in years, the sale of Rooney was disappointing but the circumstances were entirely different, we became a sellable club then didn't we, not that I agree with it. I hate to see any player with potential being sold.
Jeffers to Arsenal? I'm sure if you asked the question, he would regret that move. Barmby was a great player for us but unfortunately his heart ruled his head and decided to betray his disciples and cross to the other side.
Ball and Royle were two that I could never come to terms with, both true Evertonians.

John Stones*.

Duncan

Rooney too but that felt inevitable. Duncan leaving was like a dagger in the balls

 

[Hellerad]

Drenthe. The mad hatter.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Cahill.

I was a bit gutted when Arteta went but Cahill leaving made me sad.

 

[bluesb1970]

Not that it really hurt at the time but losing Steve McMahon was a bit of a clanger!

 

[ijjysmith]

Even though he was never the same after his Newcastle injury when Arteta left I was devastated.

 

[Christiffa25]

Artet and Rooney.

Rooney was the one that really hurt! Although it was inveitable it was gonna happen. It all just seemed wrong. To soon and not for enough money

Alcaraz

Cahill.

I was a bit gutted when Arteta went but Cahill leaving made me sad.

I knew in my head it was time for Cahill to go but I was geniunely gutted when he did....especially after watching THAT world cup goal. Never forget his overhead against chelsea either. Great Evertonian Tim.

Dunc was the first. Rooney too but the writing was on the wall with that one.

 

[sageyefc]

Big Dunc
Arteta mainly the missing money was the heartbreaker
Manny he was all but an everton player then next thing you know hes holding a valencia shirt

TBH his last 18 months with us softened the blow for me, i almost wanted him out by then, just a shame he never got to have a proper send off

 

[Pat's Van]

Tobias Linderoth

no but seriously can anyone remember him actually leaving ???

I barely remember him playing to be honest

Same.

He probably stayed here a year or so too long. It was sad watching his decline.
