Is this the greatest Everton XI ever?

southall colman labone radcliffe wilson kanchelskis ball kaye sheedy linacre dean 442 unbeatable

I'd agree with most of that ( spelling aside) but personally would put Shaggy Stevens ahead of Seamus.And I never saw Tommy Wright who won the league and went to a world Cup finals.

And might go Bob ahead of Lineker, as his one season has awful connotations

 

[scullhed]

Southall
Wright TG Jones Labone Wilson
Steven Ball Harvey Sheedy
Dean Lawton

all about opinions though
I’d fancy us to stay up with this team

No Deggsy?

 

[scullhed]

no Rom, no Best XI.

 

[woomy]

Any “ best of team “ that doesn’t have Kanchelskis in, is just pointless.

Could you imagine him in todays game in a 433 formation. He would rip defenders a new one.

 

[mahermi1]

Southall.
Wilson
labone
Ratcliffe.
T. Wright
Ball.
Harvey
Kendall
Kanchelskis
Dean
Rooney.
lots of players left out including, Sheedy, Steven, West, Lineker, Reid, who would be subs.

 

[Nobby Nobbs]

Aye, outside of Dixie there's only Ted Sagar and Alex 'Sandy' Young who come to mind as potential pre-60's candidates.

if he was alive today Tommy Lawton would have something to say about that.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Kanchelskis was out of this world, I wasn't even upset when he left as it felt wrong he wore our jersey in the first place at the time, just a bit of a dream really, incredible player. Limited time with us so unsure if he makes the "greatest ever team" but the rules of picking such a side usually lie with the picker and change from person to person and so is therefore impossible to do.

good shout. seems his Everton career was seriously put on hold due to the war.

 

[Mademan]

14 goals Mountfield? Would settle for a forward who could get half that this season.

 

[edge]

I didn't even think of Lineker. Given how that season played out it's so easy to forget he banged 40 goals. What a striker he was.

He was some slotter that lad.
Another before my time Fred Pickering had a amazing record that gets overlooked for games played
I remember asking my mates dad who had followed us for years who he thought was are all time greatest player. Loved Dean , said Lawton was some player but loved TG Jones .
Must have been great watching them

 

[Andy McGurk]

It's the best "Everton" 11, which means playing people out of position, which is very accurate for me

 

[Thomasc]

I couldn’t pick a best XI using players I have never watched just in principle.

Also, Kanchelskis should be in every best XI . He was the best winger in the world when he payed for us.

 

[degsy]

would have Rooney over Rom, especially if you want someone who can hustle and track back.

This

@dholliday You mean the Rooney we had or the Rooney Man U had

The Rooney we had at the 2004 Euros was Raw and Unstoppable...put him in behind / alongside Dean and it's game set and match
