Everton Alumni Steve Simonsen

[Rita_Poon]

agent johnson special, owned both Tranmere and Everton and somehow paid himself a then record fee for a keeper.
this is the agent johnson who knew his hamper business (some years later) was close to bankrupt and continued the scam and left his customers with bugger all at christmas.

There's a weird cult of a snowball story about him, whenever you meet a random blue somewhere they are always the young lad that got a lift down to wembley in johnsons roller for the 95 final. For this to be anyway near true, he'd have had to have been driving the QE2 down the M6 not some poxy rolls royce.

As for Simonsen, Simo wasn't really up to it, it wasn't his fault big cash had been splashed on him (3.5M iirc) and it only highlighted how mickey mouse the johnson era was that we had Martyn at the table (of a little chef) ready to sign before he realised what he was doing and scarpered away to filthy leeds.

"what would Everton do!?"... should be the title of a comedy musical.

:/

I travelled up that day...It was certainly was a low point,Smiths last game.

Remember Ince celebrating right Infront of me.

Yeah, on a Sunday, sure it was Mothers day, away end full as usual , I remember the players came to the away end just before KO and gave it the big one to say they where up for it

Remember thinking we were going down on the way home.

Think Moyes was appointed that Thursday.

Was this one of the players that Peter Johnson bought from himself for a bloated fee?

It was suspect, they reported it as £3 million and then later reported it as £0.5 million with add ons. All I know for sure was he was dreadful and way out of his depth.

Crap barnet, crap keeper, crap time

Does Motson say Alen Boksic has a 'sea monster touch' at the end of that?

To be fair to him, the defending on all 3 absolutely stitched him up.

Can argue the first about whether he made a shout or not.

But the 2nd and 3rd he was left in 1 vs 1s after appalling defending. And he got out quick to close the angles and saved the 1 on 1 for the 3rd goal.

Was an awful performance. Smith sacked and in came Moysie

The whole team mate.

One of the most abject Everton performances I've ever had the misfortune of watching.

I was there in the Middlesbrough end. Had some Smoggy mutant nudging me with his elbow on each of their goals. Grim.

 

[Ivo]

Rubbish. But better than Paul Gerrard at least.

And that clown we got from arsenal, Richard Wright.

 

[Vagner Love]

Crap keeper who looked about 50 when he signed, thought he made more appearances for us tbh
