If you could bring back any former EFC player?

Reid in the midfield. Organising and shouting at people.

So many to choose from its difficult. We're short in a few places too making it even harder.

Big Nev is the greatest goalkeeper I've ever seen but we have a decent keeper.
Ratcliffe was tremendous and would be a good teacher for the raft of young centrehalves weve acquired.
Alan Ball - Incredibly gifted.
Kanchelskis would excited the fans, score goals and create chances for the forward were so desperately missing.
Dixie Dean. His record speaks for itself but could he play in today's game? No, probably not at a level close to the legendary stories
Lineker - We need a striker and he was an incredible finisher who would still flourish in today's game.

So after all the waffle I was going to plump for Lineker and then I remembered. And it made me a little sad. There is one player in his prime that I want more than most. His name is Wayne Rooney.

Mikel Arteta or Andrei Kanchelskis....or Peter Beardsley.

One of those 3.

If you could bring back just one former EFC player (obviously in their prime) who would you bring and why?

i guess that most of players from 20th century couldn't help us, because even in their primes they were much less fit than today's players.

Alan Ball is so obvious missed seeing the Little General Bobby Collins I believe he was brilliant , but totally different to Bally - same effect though!

Bobby Collins made it a bit more exciting for me walking down Sleepers Hill on the way to Goodison. He was special and I
don't think he was 'totally' different to Bally. In fact, they had a lot in common, I think.

Wayne Rooney


And it came true

Jesper Blomqvist

Class act!

Psycho Pat. Just cos none of you bothered to mention him (or I was too lazy too notice) and he fills a position we need filling.

Its all about opinions I asked my elder brother who seen them both, and he stated Collins was a total destroyer, where Bally had a wee bit more class - same result though they took Everton high up the league - the team was to be built around Bobby Collins as we were very low in the league - when Bally came he said we were a far better team, but he turned us into a classy team - Collins must have been some player he started the Leeds dynasty under Don Revie { they were a division below us in the old division 2 } - even stayed on as coach - the great Labby stated - the Catt was to hasy to get rid of him.
Another great in that era was Royston Vernon for us he and the GV were a sight to see!
