Remembering Raymond, Ray Atteveld

[Dutch Toffee]

As I have clouded vision over this one. Never actually seen him play for Everton, but he also played for the archrivals of my fave team in Holland. Anyone who can shed some lights on the performances of my fellow countryman in Royal Blue?

He was cack tbh.

He was alright, no better. Stripped down to his underpants at the end of a season once to give the fans his kit.

Now can we stop these threads!?

I remember going to the first game of Howard Kendall's second coming, at Sheff Utd. Afterwards, he picked out Atteveld for special praise - 'he looks like some player' etc. But then he'd only seen him for an hour or so, and we lost.
My favourite moment was the goal he scored against Leeds in the mickey mouse cup....We eventually lost 4-1. We lost a lot during Atteveld's time, but he was a bit of crowd favourite (bit of a pyscho tough guy), without being anything special.

Can only assume you never saw Barrett, Hottiger, Holmes, Ward, Tiler, Thomas, O'Kane etc.

I have to agree with Tommye

If I was to pick a Worst All Time Everton XI then Ray would be the first name on the list.

Barrett was quality

Scored a disallowed goal against Palace in my first ever away game.

When we were arguing with the ref he allowed Palace to take the free kick and they scored the opening goal.
