Terry Phelan would be in my team, absolutely loved the guy but have no idea why. Joe-Max Moore would be up front (remember when Moyes kept putting Steve Watson up front instead of Moore???) Ah! Steve Watson, he's in as well. Tobias Linderoth (I liked his name), Mikel Madar would partner Moore. (because of his hair I guess). Mark Pembridge is in there too (he did try hard but was inevitably ****). Richard Gough would be my captain. ( I loved Goughy and he doesn't get mentioned enough on here, so even though he wasn't crap he's in my team.)


gk Paul Gerrard
RB Steve Watson
LB Terry Phelan
CB Richard Gough
CB Matteo Ferrari
CM Tobias Linderoth
CM Barry Horrrrrnnnnnnnneeeeee (what a player!)
LM Mark Pembridge
RM Jesper Blomqvist (wrong side I know)
CF Joe-Max Moore
CF Mikel Madar
 

Have I really just seen someone say that Yobo was crap?

I despair at times I really do. For 95% of his Everton career he was excellent!

Gavin McCann wasnt crap either, didnt have a bad game for us, just didnt play many before getting sold to Sunderland. I was fuming when we sold him.

Agree about Yobo, was one of the key signings which helped us progress up the table.
 

Mojo, for scoring against the ****e. His best days were long gone by the time he came to us.

Gareth Farrely, that goal against Coventry.

Bob the pole, overall pretty poor except for a stormer against Utd at Old Trafford
 
How has no one said Amokachi??
****ing loved Amo, but my word he was awful for a signing I was so happy with.

...'But he scored that belter in the world cup' I'd say as my mates took the piss.
Semi's against spurs aside of course.

I loved Amo....I remember waiting outside Bellfield during the Walker-era for the players to drive out so I could get some autographs...Amo had a black Porshe (super cool), but I swear to god he had the heating on full blast and the car stank of wrigley's double mint. He didn't answer me when I asked him if he was going to start scoring some goals. He had a cool autograph though. I do have fond memories of him...that shot which led to the corner for ferguson's first goal, a great goal against newcastle in a 2-0 win, and of course the semi-final

I was at his debut away to blackburn (stuffed 3-0, we barely got into their half...david burrows made his debut then too), and i don't recall a single pass form him going to one of our players....I thought at the time it was because he was too quick for the other players, but it quickly dawned that actually, Amo was not great
 
Given, most of these are for non-footballing reasons, but I've crafted together an XI...

GK: Gerrard. Would impersonate a windmill at crosses, always amused me and took the edge off getting shafted every week.
LB: Naysmith. I was sat in the Gwladys Street when Naysmith scored a free kick in 2003, and some nutter got up and started chanting "Gary Naysmith's got new feet, got new feet, got new feet, Gary Naysmith's got new feet... on.. his.. legs." I loved him because of that guy.
CB: Kroldrup. Always wanted the big galoot to do well. Pity he didn't.
RB: Alec Cleland, simply because he reminded me of Janosz from Ghostbusters II.
LM: Mark Pembridge. I sat behind a guy who would always ball his fists and shout "GWAN PEMBO" whenever he got the ball. Pembo never did gwan.
CM: Tobias Linderoth. I used to sit up at the top balcony, and from up there Toby'd look like a little child running around lost and helpless. Bless him.
CM: Tony Grant. Because he reminded me of Rodney from Only Fools and Horses.
RM: Stone Cold Steve Watson.
CF: James Beattie. A friend of mine once donned a James Beattie mask and a pair of false comedy breasts. He would also shout "Boobs" at him at any opportunity. Another like-by-proxy.
CF: Joe-Max Moore.
CF: John Spencer. Now reminds me of Tyrion from Game of Thrones.

Special mentions: Mikael Madar, Bakayoko (for not being the Champ Man Bakayoko), Jesper Blomqvist (for looking like an evil Aryan wizard), Stefen "Nuclear" Wessels, Andy Van Der Meyde.

Agree with Pembridge, overall he was average at best, but he could take the odd reasonable free kick. I think I also felt sorry for him for being so badly ginger. Anyone else feel sorry for gingers so kinda like them?
