Tom Mac Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 If you could bring any everton player back to the blues who would you go for?? Ill get this started with my 5 1 - Oliver Dacourt - money grabbing twat but class 2 - Andrei Kanchelskies - Class act when could be assed 3 - Neville Southall - Probaly the best goalkeeper we have had. 4 - Mikel Mader - Just so i can shout abuse at the puff 5 - Big Dunc - dont even have to say Legend!!!

Yorkie Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Wayne Rooney- So that we could sell him again for another £30mil . Neville Southall- Do I need to explain. William Ralph Dean- could d with another 50/60 goal season striker. Alan Ball- Just about every Everton fan's idol. Kevi Ratcliffe- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosse Captain Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 John Ebbrell - not sure why, but he was my favourite player as a kid. Possible cause he's like me, not great....but can do a steady job (kind of) Peter Reid - Everton hero Kanchelskis - greedy, but superb player Nev - agree with the above sentiments Hinchcliffe - what a great left foot Can't remember our proper glory days so most of my choices have to be 'modern' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Dave watson - true legend gary speed - class act Nev Southall - Best kepper we have ever had Dixie - 60 in 1 Linker - another good striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Left Nev out because I based it on who i thought we needed most now, and Howards up there with the best currently....so I loaded midfield, particularly on the wings, and got us a left back. Dixie just to rub everyone elses noses in it so we keep winning by four or five every week instead of by two or three ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUE-TAC Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 1st for me cos i've seen him play and he used to get me & my dad of our seats - Kanchelskis Saw him a few times and his career was ended too soon - mark higgins Solid but fair (sometimes anyway) - pat van den hauwe No need to explain - dixie Could do with a left winger - sheeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 wayne rooney - obvious class, the best player we've had in my generation (IMO) dixie - doesnt need words alan ball - again, no words needed howard kendall - to keep bally company in the middle of the park colin harvey - well two out of three just wont do, get ya boots colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Only going to include players I have seen, and not well know Goodison legend Southhall - Was the best in the World in his prime Sheedy - Would solve our left wing problem Ratcliffe - Then I could keep Lesscott as left back Sharp - One of the most under rated Everton player in my opinion Kanchelskis - one of the true class players we have had at the club since the 80's Can't include Rooney, because there are just so many ahead of him in terms of what they have done in an Everton shirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooberman Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Great thread this, and tough to answer! i'd go for (and i've only done my era since i haven't watched much toffee footie before the 80s) 1) Big Nev 2) Andre Kanchelskis 3) Anders Limpar 4) Big Dunc 5) Kevin Ratcliffe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimRoyle Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Okay here's mine: 1. Gazza 2. David Ginola 3. David Burrows 4. Mikael Madar 5. Per Kroldrup .... .......NOT!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomness Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Big Nev when he wasnt quite so big Andy Hinchcliffe, A decent Left that could cross, havent had one of them since errr forever Joe Parkinson, When i was growing up this guy could do no wrong, Andrei Kanchelskis (95/96 version) Supreme Class, Plus scored two at the kop end as well and (barry horne because some people need the shit kicked out of them) nah Dixie. though with the array of striking talent, we have now they might get 60 between them.

J*A*C*K*E*L*Z Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 1) fernandes- no explination 2) ferrari - sheer class deserved more first team football 3) rooney- to have him for his beast years 4) big duncan - to play him with AJ [ perfect blend fro me frighten the life out of defences] 5) naysmith- cus he only just left and its funny to bring him back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadline Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Its gonna have to be big Joe Parkinson - he only played around 30 games for us but we hardly lost when he was in midfield fookin everyone else off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 So many legends have passed through the Goodison Gates its really difficult to choose, i could name another fifty that are equally deserving, but heres just 5. Alex Young. ...............For the sheer enjoyment he gave me watching him play. Nev Southall ..............Best Keeper i've ever seen in the Blues goal. Alan Ball....................Simply the best and put his heart and soul into everything he did. Bob Latchford.............Supreme goalscoring ability, and he's a nice bloke too. William Ralph Dean ... No explanation needed, and contrary to what some people may think, I was'nt around to actually see him playing.

Droobie Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 To be honest, I'm wondering what Dixie would be like in today's game? I would say today's football is faster and more physical. DD is a legend for his time, but how would he fare in the Premier League now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everton_Worshiper Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Without a doubt Rooney (but would give him a smack before he put the Everton shirt back on). Kanchelskis Duncan Ferguson - my idol and would be amazing for him to play with AJ/Vaughan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 To be honest, I'm wondering what Dixie would be like in today's game? I would say today's football is faster and more physical. DD is a legend for his time, but how would he fare in the Premier League now? 1. In todays game he'd be a freak, he'd make Rooney look like Brett Angell. 2. Football may be faster today but it's massively less physical. 3. See 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Yeah i agree Mike, No matter when or how football is compared, no other footballer will ever make such an impact again. Records are always there to be broken, but William Ralph Deans records never will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
