That was ace. While Richard Shight was obviously the worse of the two overall, 2012-2016 era Tim Howard could definitely rival him for worst goalkeeper I've seen at Everton, in all genuine seriousness.

Agree with that. Howard was generally alright for us but towards the end he was a complete mess. Every shot seemed to go in.

They needed home grown players. He was happy to not even make then bench as long as he was being paid

For the amount he did they could have signed me up.

I look back at some of the goals he conceded and just laugh my head off.

I believe it was confirmed by them that he was also working for them as a goal keeping coach as well.

Although I think that's total tosh myself

Anyone remember when we were going for Europe, think it was the 02/03 season and Richard Wright rolled the ball in the net against Fulham to score an OG?

I watched it in Goodison on the screen, I was only a kid but remember it ruining my week.

I saw Richard Wright a lot for Ipswich when he was young and he was unbelievably good. But then it went badly badly tits up.

Tim Howard was good for us when he joined. In the same way Joseph Yobo was good then too.

Tough one for me this.

Wenger sold Wright to us, and Wenger never sells any player who is any good.

Didn't Wright injure himself falling over a sign in the goal mouth?

Howard was a better keeper by some distance.

He certainly did. At Cheatski. And the sign was written in metre high writing to NOT PRACTICE IN THE GOALMOUTH,
Says all you need to know about him really. Perhaps they would have been better off printing it in braille.
