What are your memories of Thomas Gravesen at Everton?
 
sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe sh.. for about 4 years

then in 04/05 he was one of the best players in the league and got his move to Madrid

his reputation outside the club was of this tough tackling workhorse but he was very much the opposite. technically skilled but not much defensive discipline in his game

I’m convinced real madrid really meant to sign lee carsley. i think the athletic ought to do a deep dive on it

second spell i don’t think he did anything bar a corner for lescotts winner on his first game back and scoring in shoot out against fiorentina

considering we after after the likes of fernandes, riquelme and moutinho that summer and ended up with him i think that was the first big sign we were always gonna be limited under bill in the moyes reign

I get a few things that regularly pop up on socials because of my algorithm, and one of the things I’ve started seeing a lot of recently is ex footballers talking about Gravesen.

Always knew he was a bit mad, but Jesus.

that scottish guy with the celtic stories, and that annoying surf rock track they do over every clip

obviously i watch the whole video everytime
 
Was a total liability other than the last 6 months.

Stupidly reckless, early yellows, often subbed as a result, but was a hero cause he was "mad".

Those 6 months though. What a player. The goal away at Palace and the goal in December against Bolton (ended up as an own goal) wrre some great memories.

The 10 minute cameo away at Bolton on Yakubus debut was sadly a false dawn.

Give me him over a Morgan Schneiderlin though!

I'm still convinced that Real were after Carsley and it got lost in translation...
Si, Si, senior Bill - El Baldio *points rather vaguely to the ce tre of the pitch*
