Unluckiest Everton Players Ever

[Caolam]

I am the unluckiest Everton player ever, we could have won things if they has signed me and if I had been very good at football. Small technicalities robbed me of a career and Everton of a trophy laden run.

Weren't we about to sign a lad called Leonard who was highly rated in the 70s who got run over by a bus on his way to sign ?

Mark Leonard who we signed from Witton Albion for a small fee. Part of the deal saw us play them in a pre-season game, 1982 I think, which we won 5-0, with Leonard scoring one of them. I seem to remember he fell trying to catch a bus on the day he signed for us, breaking his leg. Had a couple of years with us before drifting down the league but he came back to haunt us in 1988 when he scored for Bradford City in a 3-1 league Cup defeat.

Martin Murray.
Irish wonderkid who we beat off loads to sign.
Turned out the lad had a dodgy ticker.

Brett angel why did someone have to put lead in his boots

Rodrigo, first Brazilian to play for Everton.

Suffered a major knee injury after 4 appearances and never played for us again and although he played for several clubs after us he never fully recovered and retired early.

Seamus was in his best form ever before his leg break. Not been the same player since he came back.

Ian Snodin was ham stringed.......by his hamstrings.

 

[Jeff Jones]

James Vaughan, for me.

James Vaughan, for me.

Agreed. Looked an excellent prospect. I remember a game against Chelsea where he played up top on his own, he scored and gave them a torrid time. Who knows what he could have gone on to. The freak injuries too that he suffered. Could never get a run of games.
