Imagine you're mulling over an offer from a club. Considering whether it's worth uprooting your family, moving your kids to new schools, your Mrs away from her family, just to be third choice. Your agent says it's a good deal, the manager of the club has sold you "the project."

You try to get a feel for the club who are interested so you Google "Everton forums" and find yourself here, being disregarded and ridiculed before you've even pulled on an Everton training kit.

Third and fourth choice goalkeeper is one of the easiest jobs in the world as long as you don't end up playing for the U23's.

Richard Wright went from being first choice at Everton to being second choice behind an ageing Nigel Martyn and being clowned for injuring himself on a "do not train here sign".

Had a trail with Colchester United, but got approached and signed for Manchester City spending 4 years, making 0 first team appearances. Yet was in the squad who won countless trophies.
