[Coggy]

Big Mick Lyons. Blue to the core and scared of nothing. Great man.

Remember Ratcliffe going down like a big girl when Vinnie Jones touched heads with him

Ploy to get him sent off and it worked.

 

[stretford blue]

Mick Lyons always looked like the proudest person on earth being captain

 

[evilwebby]

Gary Speedo Speed was a standout (c) during some difficult days for our club

 

[klingklang]

85 team had about 5 captains, The Rat, Reid, Sharp, Gray and PVDH all leaders and looked after the quiet ones in the team. Not like the wet lettuces we have had for the last few years.

 

[Bluebonic]

When considering the greatest it requires comparison between players from different decades. I loved Labby, and I loved the Rat, but i am not sure Labby would have been as good in the modern game, whereas i think Ratcliffe would have been fine in the 60’s? So young Mr Kevin Ratcliffe for me, but with Labone peering over his shoulder!

The team of captains:

1 Neville Southall
2 Phil Neville
3 Brian Labone
4 Kevin Ratcliffe
5 Dave Watson
6 Barry Horne
7 Mick Lyons
8 Alan Ball
9 Duncan Ferguson
10 Gary Speed
11 Mick Lyons

 

[Cels]

The Captains Captain.

[Debunkology]

The last captain that stood out was Dave Watson

 

[everton1953]

Brian Labone by a country mile.

 

[peteblue]

….too much is made of the captains role. The great sides of 1970 and 1985 had quiet, unassuming captains. They were successful because of the players, not the captains.

Is the correct answer, but also identifies our two best Captains......

 

[Verbal Kint]

I think you will find Seamus Coleman starts instead of Manc Neville in 99.9% of everybody's team.

The team of captains:

1 Neville Southall
2 Phil Neville
3 Brian Labone
4 Kevin Ratcliffe
5 Dave Watson
6 Barry Horne
7 Mick Lyons
8 Alan Ball
9 Duncan Ferguson
10 Gary Speed
11 Mick Lyons

Another shout for Mick Lyons.

This goal against Leeds summed up his bravery and belief in Everton.
