Best keeper I’ve ever seen.
He did manage a few non league clubs a few years ago. I saw him when he was at Hastings and Molesey.
And I bought him a hot chocolate when he came to watch his mates team Deal when they played at Whyteleafe. I was on the turnstiles and I offered him free entrance but he insisted on paying(contrast Teddy Sheringham who parked his Bentley in a disabled place and asked for a free pass as his son was playing for the opposition. I told him to [Poor language removed]. He brought his young girlfriend and I asked him whether she was qualified for a concession as she looked under 16).

The Blues bothers
 

Apart the relegation battles which surpass anything, they were the two worst things for me. Should have won both. Lost both. Sold Lineker (second worst sale in our history). We won the battle (1987) but lost the war (everything since then).

Around 86/87 the best youngsters around, were Gascoinge, waddle, Beardsley, Barnes. Incredible we weren’t in fir any of them at the time.

Crazy when u think back. We were the Champions FFS. Failure to capitalise on this was the beginning of our decline that and the RS getting us banned from Europe.

We ended up buying the likes of Wilson, McCall, Nevin last two did ok for us. But we really should have pushed the boat out. It’s lije the board thought the mid 80’s team would go on forever.
 
I have been watching Everton since the 60s and Big Nev is the greatest player I have seen, and the competition for such an accolade is obviously immense.
At his peak he was undoubtedly the best goalie in the world.
He won us the cup in 95 with an outstanding performance.
He’s a true Evertonian , a Legend and a top bloke as well.

And to think Bob Wilson, picked his 5 best keepers to ever play in this country. And Southall didn’t get in. But David seaman did

My memory aint that great, but after the Europe ban, didnt a fair few of the players move on? Howard certainly did, but Stevens and Sheedy to Rangers as well? Or has the snow frozen me.
