Best performance by an opposition player vs Everton

[Yarrgh]

I can think of a few aswell.

Dread to think how many will sit down with their Grandkids.
Now let me tell you about my greatest game. We were playing Everton.....

All too true that.

Efan Ekoku was like a man against boys when he scored 4 for Norwich.

Convinced that Ekoku is more famous at Everton than Norwich. Remember walking away from that match as a kid and knowing my dad was fuming as I had to run to keep up. He was full of praise for him, but as for Everton that day - not so much to put it politely.

Glenn Hoddle for a game at Goodison absolutely ran the show, we just couldn't get near him
.King the Millwall keeper when they beat us in the cup .

From a strictly at the ground and not on telly point of view, Fabragas wins hands down. Thankfully most trips to Goodison since I only go to GS end Everton have either played well or gone unbeaten. This was the only time we lost and Fabragas ran the show from midfield, hard to complain, just better than our midfield at the time

I remember two over the past few years and one will give me a load of grief.

1. Jota and Jiminez when wolves beat us 3 0 or 3 1 I think. Brilliant as a pairing that day.

2. Harry Winks when Spurs beat us 5 or 6 1 at goodison.
Was superb and totally displayed everything I look for in a midfield player.

Wasn’t there a guy who I think played for Rochdale. He scored two against us in a preseason friendly. Think we lost 3-2. Catterick then bought him. And never gave him a game. Remember reading all that in one of those 1960s football magazines. This guy was the next big thing. Or so I thought. Never played a match for Everton. And I can never remember his name.
And on another point, the Lampards always managed to score important goals against us.. If asking for a father and son combo that sunk us. Both the Franks ……junior and senior were pains in the @##@.
And as for teams, Norwich City back in the day were always a bogey team. And let’s not mention Carlisle. Bloody Carlisle.

Basically any striker that is having a dry spell.

My first ever game..... sigh.

My old man kept saying, every time he got the ball. .... He's gonna score you know. And he did.

Wasn't much chat on the way home.

I remember my father taking me to watch us play Ipswich in 1980. Their whole team played brilliantly that day and beat us 4-0,but I remember thinking what a fantastic footballer Arnold Muhren was. Just made everything look so easy and effortless. The other dutch player they had,Frans Thijssen was brilliant as well. I was staggered (I'm sure I wasn't the only one!)when we knocked them out of the FA cup a few weeks later!

Les Ferdinand deadly on his day.

Les Ferdinand deadly on his day.

Sixteen goals in 21 games against Everton

Les Ferdinand deadly on his day.

Always rated Ferdinand, hated how he always bagged against us though.

Andy Impey was the proto Bolassie wasn't he?

 

[Paul Rideout]

Les Ferdinand deadly on his day.

Person who I instantly thought of… swiftly followed by Alan Shearer.

Gascoigne for Spurs late 80s - wasn't so much that he was the best player on the pitch (I think we might actually have won the game), just played like he was the absolute Boss having a kickabout.
