I try very hard not to think about him

[MikeO]

12 is Tim Cahill, that's the only one that leaps out, will have a proper look later (unless someone else steps in and finishes it).

[Cornish Steve]

Who can tell which Everton player is which?

[Matt]

Fucking nightmare fuel that. 

[MikeO]

O is Tarks, would recognise that ear anywhere!

Close call between him and Jeffers as to who's had the finest set of shells ever to wear the Blue.

Was a good trip just exhausting. 1 thing you definitely lose with home office work is the "office stamina"; there's so much constant stimulation that I'm just not used to anymore, plus 12hr days not including the 5hr drives. Bit tired

Got an upgrade on the rental car to a top of the range Volvo XC40(?), fucking rapid. Would not be surprised to get points from those trips because it hit 100 without breaking 3k revs and without me noticing, it was just seamless and far too easy to speed.

In fairness, "former Everton player" is a broad term. It doesn't mean the Thai player ever appeared in the Prem.
