Which living X Everton player would you like to meet

[Pejic300]

Duncan McKenzie. We'd spend the day lobbing golf balls and jumping over Minis.

 

[Tim's tourettes]

Andre Gomes, just to see if he smells as good as he looks

 

[BNJ1878]

Sharp.

Thank him for all the great memories in the pitch, then:

"Why, Sharpy? Why side with Chairman Bill?"

Tears streaming down my fat cheeks.

Not really, I bet he'd be a massive bore.

Met a few from that 80s team but my favourite is Degsy Mount. Loves a quite pint and chatting football/golf. Great company.

Duncan McKenzie. We'd spend the day lobbing golf balls and jumping over Minis.

I've met a few ex players over the years, but Duncan is the one who sticks out.
Very down to earth, a great sense of humour and just generally a really nice bloke. If I could have a chat over a few pints with any ex player, I would choose 'magic'

 

[PhilM]

1. Southall
2. Southall
3. Southall

Other notably names would be Latchford, Watson, Royle, Sheedy and a few more.

 

[SJB]

Met Joe Royle at a reserves match v Leeds United at The Shay, Halifax Town. He'd only just taken the managers job on with us so I guess he was checking out the squad. The man oozed class and dignity.

My uncle has a flat in the Albert Dock. Growing up I bumped into a few Liverpool players there, never an Everton player.

My favourite ever Everton player was Mikel Arteta. My parents went to see my uncle without me, and on the way out, they shared a lift with Mikel and Xabi Alonso. I was devastated.

Some of the Liverpool players wives were unaware of the Dock apartments

 

[Cameron Manning]

Bob Latchford. No competition. Will always be my favourite player.

Me and my son met him at Villa Park before an Everton game, he had retired, he spent a good twenty minutes with us , very easy going and we talked a bit about his career and what he was doing now, he was just a down to earth man with no ego.

I should have added the best player I ever spoke to, and I’ve met a few, was Mick Lyons, it was just like talking to your mate and Terry Darracott was much the same.

I would love to have a natter with Johnny Morrissey, just to see what he thinks of all the diving prima donnas we have infesting the game. If not him, Gary Speed just to ask why he didnt seek help?

I work for Morrisey, 82 now, the tales are amazing to hear and a lovely man.

 

[Tel001]

Li Weifeng what a legend.

We actually signed the wrong Chinese player and got li tie in sorely afterward

 

[Davideeyore]

I work for Morrisey, 82 now, the tales are amazing to hear and a lovely man.

In my dads time likes of Morrisey and others (such as Bobby Campbell) came from Scottie. Morrisey from St Anthony's (school). My mum went to St Anthony's when "Our Cilla" (she's not our Cilla) was there and my dad went to St Sylvesters.

Duncan McKenzie. We'd spend the day lobbing golf balls and jumping over Minis.

This is either a wholesome day out or a remake of Trainspotting.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Neville; we can discuss the merits of us signing Neal Maupay...

 

[Old Blue 2]

Andy Gray. Gave 100% every game. The Batterer of Bayern - no wonder Beckenbauer called him an animal after the game! Then got moved on at the end of the '84-'85 season, and didn't appear on a single photo of the team with the trophies won that season. A disgrace!

The following season he was made captain for the day by Aston Villa at Goodison. He led them out (or so he thought), but the rest of the Villa players stopped short of coming out of the tunnel. Andy Gray came onto the pitch on his own and was given a standing ovation by the Goodison crowd. Now THAT is an Everton legend...
