Understated heroes who have made huge contributions to EFC.

Timothy F Cahill.

He embodied everything I love about football. He oozed that positive auzie winning mentality. He’d fight to win a throw in like his life depended on it. He looked after his teammates. He was a dirty little barstard, but clever with it. Never complained when he got kicked, just got on with it & paid back with interest. Like the anti-mirallas really.

While I share your admiration for Tim Cahill, I don't think he's under-rated by Everton fans. I'd say he's one of the most popular players to have played for us this century.

Mr. Brown: Now this is a simple acronym: H.E.R.O. At Diversity, we believe it's very easy to be a hero. All you need are: Honesty, Empathy, Respect, and Open-mindedness.

Dwight Schrute: Excuse me, I'm sorry, but that's not all it takes to be a hero.

Mr. Brown: Okay well, what is a hero to you?

Dwight Schrute: A hero kills people, people that wish him harm. A hero is part human and part supernatural. A hero is born out of a childhood trauma, or out of a disaster, and must be avenged.

Mr. Brown: Uh, okay, you're thinking of a superhero.

Carsley - think Madrid thought him and Tommy G were one and the same player.

Pejic - At the time, the best left-back we had since the great Ramon Wilson. Had a Baines/Pienaar relationship with Dave Thomas. His injury scuppered that 78/79 team.

Clements - for about 18 months was brilliant for us. Great left foot, intelligent, strong in the tackle, laid Keegan out - what more could you ask?

I always thought Jimmy Husband was overshadowed in the 1970 team by the Holy Trinity, big Joe and the exploits of Alan Whittle when he came into the team near the end but Jimmy played a huge role that season.

Jose Mourinho
Demba Ba
Dwight Gayle
Gareth Bale
