Dave Watson.

[Dario Terracotta]

Yes, the very definition of "club legend". Perhaps not possessing of the quality to make a wider mark at international level, but most certainly a great for Everton in teams at the top and bottom of the table. A genuine Everton great - league champion, cup winner, relegation escapologist.

Proper "row Z"centre back too?

 

[knowing your history]

Cracking player.

Wasn't he caretaker player manager for a spell after Joe Royle went mid season? Probably should've given him the job rather than tempting Howard back for one more spell given how awful 97/98 turned out to be.

Mind you don't think management worked out for him at Tranmere so maybe not.

 

[maccavennie]

One of my favourite Everton players of all time. Great defender, dangerous in both penalty areas and scored some crucial goals.

I absolutely loved him and I'd say probably my favourite Everton captains

Legend

Proper "row Z"centre back too?

"If in doubt, put it out."

My kind of defender. Clear man and ball and ask questions later. We so sorely miss such a player, but then such players are almost extinct in the modern game in Europe.

 

[The Nature Boy]

What a guy. What a defender. What a legend.

The 90s were rough time but Dave never let us down. What a captain he was.

Great player. One of my faves from my childhood.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Great captain and leader. Would have ran through walls for Everton.

The exact opposite of Mina

Mina couldn't run through tissue paper walls

Was about to type pretty much this.
The epitome of what an Everton captain should be.

 

[COYBL25]

Hard as nails. Only players harder than him that I've personally seen for the blues are Richard Gough and big Dunc

Reidy and Van Den Hauwe say hello

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Great captain and leader. Would have ran through walls for Everton.

The exact opposite of Mina

Totally unfair and simplistic comment on Mina to be honest.
He was desperate to get back on the pitch yesterday despite being obviously injured(the incident happened directly in front of me yesterday and I had an excellent view of the proceedings.
Mina is clearly injury prone but he is not lacking commitment to Everton.
Everton legend was Watson ( but I preferred Mountfield and was gutted when Watson replaced him.

Nail on head mate

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Got introduced to him in the rams head in grappenhall in the 1990s. Very nice, humble guy and very witty.
Excellent captain for us too.,

FFS, thought he’d died when I saw the thread

Yep he was.

Was reading his bio at the Chelsea game that adorns the interior of the main stand and it said he scored 37 goals. I instantly thought what wouldn't we give for our attacking midfielders to score 37 across their Everton career!
