Timothy Cahill

Dunc will always be my childhood Everton hero, but speaking in terms of actual ability and on the pitch performances, Cahill comes up trumps.


But why must we compare them? I'm just happy to have watched them both play, and bleed blue for us.

In my opinion, my fellow countryman's biggest assets are (listed from most important):
a. No respect for reputations. The man has shown this on many occasions, at all levels of the game.
b. Leap. He has admitted to have done plyometrics (jump training) from any early age. It sure hasn't gone to waste.
c. Stamina. The words 'lost' and 'cause' are not in Tim's vocab.

Forget about 'future' legend, Timmy's already a legend. (unless he knocks his head somewhere and decides to play for the other lot).

I can't remember exactly, it could be...

As far as I remember, he jumped up for a header and gave someone an elbow sandwich, then during the ensuing fracas, we were all shouting "come away come away, get him away" so that was probably the bit when he was throttling that fella, next thing we were down to 9 men and all the fans were going mad at the ref. Might have been Durkin that game.

We then proceded to defend like heroes for the last ten minutes, and whenever we won the ball we just cleared it down the field into the Leicester half, reformed, then waited for bombardment after bombardment to try and grind out a 1-1 draw.

It was horrible. hahahaha.

COYBB!!!!

The thing about Cahill is that it doesn't matter who you are - he's not scared of you. He respects no reputation other than his club's and he makes himself be a better player than he has any right to be. Already an Everton Legend for me.

Yes, very much so. The one that vividly sticks in my mind was playing United in his first season, at Goodison, and Roy Keane came through the back of him as if to say "I'm the boss here" and Cahill got up, turned around and squared up to him. Keane took a step back and looked stunned that someone had the nerve to stand up to him.

Tim is my favourite Everton player of my lifetime, no doubts about it anymore. As much as I love Duncan, Super Kev was my favourite as he became my favourite at the time when I first started to seriously understand football. Timmy's surpassed him now (although I still love both Campbell and Fergie). He just epitomises everything that this club should be. The day he leaves, I dread to think about. I'll be pretty devvo'd (that's an understatement I think..)

Right on that as well, the reds proper hate him, and he loves it. He thrives off it and he turns it on for the big games, unlike others who have a tendency to disappear.

Never have I critisised the bloke. Not once. He is simply the best player of the Moyes era and will go down as the Everton legend of the Noughties!

There has always been a shower of Evertonians who mock him, but someone with abit of footballing knowledge could always see what he was offering us off the ball. Dropping into the midfield when defending and closing down and hustleing the opposition, something that goes a miss with some Evertonians.

The lads a legend on and off the pitch and genuinely a nice bloke always there for the fans. Just hope we can win a trophy whilst hes still with us!

Respect Timmy (y)

Yeah, his footballing ability is very underrated.

He is WORLD CLASS at heading the ball, in my opinion. I can't think of a many better headers of the ball, particularly for his height. It's amazing. Clubs know he is a danger, they try everything to stop him, they must practice it over and over, yet he still, somehow, beats them to it time and again.

Also, it's his off the field stuff too. He is a fantastic ambassador for our club. He is the face of football in Australia but takes his pride for Everton back there for all to see.

All for £1.5m. Biggest bargain if ever there was one.

Some good articles from this week on our favourite Aussie here and here, sorry if they've already been posted.

Re Duncan getting sent off, the time he got sent off with Samways was 94/95 and the one with German bloke was the 03/04 season, it was that day with very bad wind's when that Everton fan got killed by a piece of flying wood on his way to the ground, a very sad day.

As for Timmy, Legend
