Think Ian Snodin did convert to right back for a while and played quite well. He was even called to the full England squad. His link up well with Pat Nevin. Unfortunately, he was injury prone.
Not even a joke when I say this but Leon Osman could easily creep into this band of players especially if you take the last 4/5 years into account.
OK I'll rise to the bait. Osman is a decent player with a lot of technical skill and 42 PL goals to his name, who's justified his place in the team many times over. You can't compare him with players like Tony Thomas who should never have been allowed anywhere near the Premiership.
Here's Farrelly's goal - . He was never good enough for Everton, but this goal alone keeps him out of our worst XI.
Our squad that season had some names in it to make you shudder, omigod. John Oster, Mitch Ward, Carl Tiler, Tony Thomas, Danny Williamson, Phil Jevons, John O'Kane. Madar and Cadamarteri were pretty gash, but at least they netted a few goals for us. Michael Branch on the other hand ... John Spencer must have been megagash because he couldn't even break into the team.
In 1997 we must have had the worst scouts in our history. That year alone we bought Tony Thomas from Tranmere, John Oster from Grimsby, Mitch Ward and Carl Tiler from Sheffield Utd, Michael Madar, and Slaven Bilic (3 red cards in 28 appearances). We actually paid West Ham £1m plus the excellent David Unsworth in return for Danny Williamson, who played 15 times for us without scoring, got injured, and never played again.

If this post isn't a joke then I regret to say that it is embarrassing bollocks. No-one plays 300 games for a top-six club, scoring 50-odd goals from midfield as well as earning England caps, if he is a bad player.
You mean the last 4/5 years that saw him hit some great goals and appear for England?Not even a joke when I say this but Leon Osman could easily creep into this band of players especially if you take the last 4/5 years into account.

Behave
Beginning to realise the poll for the DVD Everton's all time Premiership 11 was conducted on this site since Osman made it to the best right winger most of you must of voted in favour of him by the sounds of it pathetic.
And I say again what other club would of gave him 300 games and England caps whoop di do Earl Barrett got called up to the England squad shouldn't he be here either then?
