Jon O'Connor. Future England captain, apparently

I ddin't understand the hype about him at all - to such an extent that I doubted my own senses. He then vanished off the face of the earth. Was he ever there...?

JUst looked him up, injuries and glandular fever did for him. Probably robbed of his chance then. Looked at his photo and didn't recognise hime. Had the image of John Kane in my mind. Another one for the forgotten list.

John O' Kane. Seems to get lumped in to some peoples worst ever 11 teams which I never understand as he was generally fine.

Weird player Pistone. Like you could tell he was talented but generally was rubbish.

I found him a much better player when playing as a centre back than a left back.

When he was at Newcastle the players there gave him a sheep’s heart for a Christmas present, that should have been a
sharp warning to any future interest in him, loved himself off the field, spent ages looking at himself in the mirror to the
amusement of a lot of the Everton players watching him comb his hair and getting it right: Narcissus.

Al Pistone! Was watching an old PL game on Sky against Spuds and he was terrible.

Remember us letting him go one summer, only to resign him. Everton that!

I used to defend Pistone on the old Kipper site...He was top of the stats for passing one season but most of his passes were sideways or back, because in front of him was Kevin Kilbane,, a nice guy but with absolutely no understanding of the concept of an overlapping full backj. And Pisto once scored a screamer..hit it from 30 yards, ball came back to him, hit it again...back of the net!

I forgot to put the "O'" in his name. Not a great player, not a terrible one - just a distinctly forgettable era of our history, the end of the Kendall and start of the Smith era. Best forgotten!

He now runs a chain of hairdressers in Italy,apparently. Years ago, when he was playing for Italy under 23s he was known as 'The New Maldini'.
 
Not sure if he's already been mentioned. Espen Baardson, top keeper with a brilliant Everton career.
