Your best Everton eleven

[rochdaleblue]

Two slight changes... otherwise I'm with you.

Southall

Stevens.....Labone.....Ratcliffe....Van Den Hauwe

Dave Thomas....Kendall.....Reid.....Sheedy

Sharpe.....Big Bob

If you saw Kendall and Labone play, I’m really surprised Alan Ball arguably alongside Dean, the greatest player to have played for the club, doesn’t make your team.

 

[Barca Blue]

Southall
Snodin
Gough
Watson
Baines
Kanchelskis
Reid
Gomes
Richarlison
Lineker
Beardsley

Too difficult for me to choose, but if there's only one sub, it's got to be Alan Harper.

Alan Ball would walk into almost any side, but I did not think he would fit into that particular team. The midfield would need to be Harvey, Kendall, Ball and perhaps Johnny Morrisey. Picking an all time Greatest side really is an impossible task!

If you are serious, you'd win nothing with eleven Bob Latchfords, who would do the running, no you can't be serious.

He's my hero .
In my mind the greatest.
And to be honest we won nothing with him.
But his 30 goal season was brilliant.

 

[Debaser]

This team would piss all over our present starting 11

Southall
Pat Van Den Hauwe
Gary Stevens
Derek Mountfield
Kevin Ratcliffe
Trevor Steven
Paul Bracewell
Kevin Sheedy
Peter Reid
Graeme Sharp
Andy Gray

Subs: Kanchelskis, Beardsley, Heath, Stones, Pickford

 

[anjelikaferrett]

This is too hard. Martin Dobson Big Nev Bob Latchford Dave Thomas and some others.

 

[roy vernon]

Southall Parker Labone Ratcliff Wilson.Kendall Ball Harvey. Morrisey Sharpe Kanchelsis

 

[coltefc]

From my time watching our beloved blues its: Southall,Stevens,Mountfield,Ratcliffe,Van den hauwe,Steven,Reid,Bracewell,Sheedy,Sharp,Heath.
This side was going on to dominate domestic and European football only for a certain clubs fans to commit the crime and we did the time.
Unfortunately never saw the great 1969-70 title winning side or the golden vision, would have loved to seen Bally in his prime

 

[cronullasharks]

This is one of those rare occasions when I would not trade my longevity for youth


I feel sorry for young Blues when a line up like that, albeit a worthy one,is their top all time XI, Josephine

FWIW......

Southall

Stevens.....Labone.....Ratcliffe....Van Den Hauwe

Deulefeou....Kendall.....Reid.....Sheedy

Rooney.....Big Bob

Why Deulefou ?

Fair point mate. Alternatively you could start with Everton’s best ever player - alan ball (in my late dad’s words) and build the team around him.

 

[Bkk Andy]

Southall;
Stevens, Watson, Ratcliffe, Baines;
Kanchelskis, Arteta, Reid, Sheedy;
Rooney, Lineker

 

[TraffordBlue]

Pickford
Coleman Jagielka Lescott Baines
Arteta Gana Cahill Pienaar
Rooney Lukaku

Rooney.....Big Bob

This comment is based on what he achieved, and footage i've seen but surely Trevor Steven couldn't miss out at the expense of a player who wasn't good enough for us when finishing 11th and now plays for Watford?

 

[degsy]

West
Wright Hurst Labone Brown
Kendall Ball Harvey
Husband Royle Morrissey

With nods to Collins, Kay, Young, Vernon, K Newton, T. Jackson and Whittle, to name but 7...plus Parker and Wilson

Yes 84-85 might...due to the fact that they seemed to hate losing a little bit more...edge them out in a photo finish or 21-20 over 41 frames
But 69-70 would score the most 147s
So
Given 1 free go in a TARDIS or DeLorean, I'd go back to Aug 1966 and watch it all grow and unfold...and mayhap even have a word or 2 in a certain youngsters earhole...not that he'd listen, they know it all at that age.
