Who is or was the greatest Player to pull on the blue shirt

Wildcat · October 16, 2009

I have a number of players who made me turn up week after week,
Alex Young,
Roy Vernon,
Tony Kay,
Martin Dobson,
Bob Latchford,
but for pure skill and entertainment Duncan Mckenzie was a dream, wish
we could get another like him.

tim cahill is the best ive seen, but I havnt seen very much.

McBain · October 16, 2009

Two votes Cahill.

Only started following Everton back in 1985. From that era, Big Nev and Peter Reid spring to my mind, more than anyone else. Wasn't that much media coverage, or internet back then, so it was much harder to follow the Blues. Also Kanchelskis was pretty good, but I'll go with Blue Truth and mc Bain and say Tim Cahill for me. Maybe not the best abillity wise, but do I love him. (y)

Well, do you mean Greatest whilst wearing the shirt, or greatest that has worn the shirt at some stage?

Gazza would be in the latter for me, but I don't think that's what you're after. Did Sylvester Stallone actually put one on during his visit? (He was pretty good in goal against the Nazi's during the war...) :blink:

For a serious vote, put me down for Southall! (y)

For me you have to look whether a player was the best in the world in their position. Southall definately was at the time so he wins for me.

Whitebootman · October 16, 2009

For players I've see,

Alan Ball.
Nev Southall.
Duncan Mckenzie.

Before my time,

Dixie Dean.

In my wildest dreams,

Me. The skills of Bally and the goals of Dixie. :lol:

I wish.

Dixie
Ball
Southall

If your talking true greatness.

Mutzo Nutzo · October 16, 2009

Best Player I've ever seen in a blue shirt - Kanchelskis

On my dad's recommendation - Alex Young

Dixie would top most lists.

From my time watching the blues, Southall.

Agreed with Southall.

Rugby Toffee · October 16, 2009

From my experience watching the Blues, Big Nev has got to be the one.

But as for being a through and through Evertonian , it has got to be Mick Lyons.

Ray Wilson.

Of all time? Would have to be Dixie.

Since I have been watching:

Southall

Honourable mentions for

Lineker
Sheedy

Sorry but none of the current team have reached their level. Rooney would have been in there if he had hung around for a couple more years, but really his time was too fleeting and he had a lot of awful performances too as he was hardly the finished article.
