GOT at its best

 

[roydo]

He was very square.

nice one, matt! you forgot the best bit, tho':

yes please (include the stat that says he's our best goalscorer in terms of goals-per-game since Latchford).

Rom, you're on your way to Cottee-levels of scoring, hope you stay and keep it up for the next 5 years!

Arguably the most under-appreciated player we've had since colour-telly. To answer the common criticisms:


- he only scored poacher's goals, didn't care if we won or not (ok, how does 80-odd poacher goals sound? Must have won us a fair few points the likes of Rideout, Stuart et al never did, with their running of channels and tracking back and that)

- he's not even an Evertonian (true, but not gonna blame the lad for supporting his boyhood team)

good head of hair

I went into a hairdressers aged 11 or 12 with a photo of him cut out of Shoot or such magazine. Legend!

i'd imagine that cut is still very popular in germany

I always liked him. Was always going to be tough matching expectations after scoring a hat-trick on debut though.

not quite yet, they're still on that Chris Waddle/Bon Jovi tip

The sheer presence of Tony Cottee and Mo Johnston could strike fear into the heart of any U15 side - FACT

remember (for some reason) his belter against southampton at goodison from inside the box (roof of the net howitzer), was in the park end

anyone else remember it.?

 

[deipnosophist]

Sirhan Sirhan was another odd name. I don't think he has anything to do with Tony Tony or Duncan Duncan though.

 

[bicycleheader]

I remember following a League Cup game versus..it think..Lincoln on teletext.

I think he scored 5. The game went like this...
