Plus blood group and your favourite vice followed by which person you would like to send on a one way trip to the moon or Mars, even worse Birkenhead.

Thought I wasn't gonna find anyone from 1980.
Finally found Joey Yobo in September.

First one I can think of would be Anthony Gordon when he made his debut.

Good thread.
Michael Branch was the first person younger than me to play for Everton when he played in the 5-2 win at Hillsborough in 1996.
Nuno Valente was the last person older than me to play for Everton when he came on as sub away to West Brom in August 2008. (Who knew he was STILL with us in 08/09??)

…that makes me feel old, Branch’s dad was an old teammate of mine. He was a terrific defender.

Maybe Neil Robinson, born April ‘57 for me.

Jose Baxter in the 08/09 season.

I am a month younger than Jack Rodwell or it would of been him the year prior.

Peter Clarke, I actually have no idea who he is. Apparently played 9 games for us from 1999 to 2004.

Alessandro Pistone is only a few weeks younger than me but he was 25 when he made his debut for Everton at the start of the 2000/01 season.

I'm sure there must have been some players making their debuts in the 90s that were younger than me.

Lower league defensive colossus.

Still playing now, was at Oldham last season. Think he plays for one of the local lower league teams now. Warrington maybe?

That's a good point
I named Glenn Keeley as he is the one born nearest to my birthday, but as you quite rightly point out there could be others who were born earlier but played at a younger age.

I watched him play for Warrington Town, a couple of weeks ago.

Yep I've taken it as... 'When did you first have an Everton player run onto to the field who was younger than you were', cos that's quite a weird moment.

And also 'When did you last have an Everton player run on who was older than you were', cos after that moment, you really have to give up on your dreams that you might play for the Blues one day!

Wayne Clarke, not as good as his big brother, but chipped in with some 'big' goals if memory servers me correct.
