Understated heroes who have made huge contributions to EFC.

[Dario Terracotta]

...Wayne Clarke is a bit of a forgotten man but he played a pivotal part in a league championship success with some crucial goals.

Deffo Eggs, similar to his brother,scored some vital goals for us in the 1987 title run in,and a derby winner lest we forget!!

David Moyes.

Hero isn't exactly a word i'd use to describe him but I think he made a huge contribution to the club and it's understated. Look at where we were before he arrived, look at how mediocre/poor we've been since he left (other than one excellent season under Martinez). Our ambitions now, with far more resources available to us is to get back to where we were under David Moyes.

In Kendall's ill fated third season Big Dunc was worth his weight in gold, and he didn't have a player as talented as francis jeffers to help, good shout on mentioning Gough, he was also excellent for a short period, and a terrific leader as well.

I dont think he was talking abour gough in a good way mate

Whoever set fire to the Wimbledon coach

lollollol

 

[weltonblue]

Terry Curran anybody?

Gary Ablett. Key role in our 95 cup win, an underatted player imho.

Good pick, matt jackson funnily enough contributed alot to that cup win. A winner against derby i think in the early rounds, the opener against spurs at elland road and a good bit of play for the build up to the goal in the final

Paul Power and Wayne Clarke for me. Two players who had a massive impact on our history.

Joe Parkinson, always gets forgotten from the dogs of war era hard as nails and could have gone on to big things if it wasn’t for injury

Paul Power and Wayne Clarke for me. Two players who had a massive impact on our history.

One of my first away games as a kid was at the arsenal and he lobbed John lukic from about 35 yards

Alan Whittle. For a fantastic contribution at the back end of the 1969-1970 title win.

Terry Curran anybody?

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.

I remember jacko hitting a screamer in at Bristol after they'd battered us,was it hinchcliffe late on with the winner v Derby?

Derek Mountfield not only for being a tower of strength at the back, but also those vital goals he pitched in with that 84/85 season. Likewise Alan Harper - in an often disregarded "utility" role but proving an always giving 100% vital cog in a very successful time for us. Mentions in despatches too for Kevin Richardson and Wayne Clarke.
