Dave Hickson (86 matches, 32 goals)​

The Salford-born Hickson had two spells with the side during one of the less successful eras for Everton.

However, Hickson’s commitment won him fans, particularly for his heroics in the fifth round FA Cup tie with Manchester United, where he suffered a severe gash to the head and was carried off, only to return later and score the winner.

In 1959 he made the controversial move to Liverpool and later played for Tranmere Rovers in the 1960s, meaning he had played professionally for all three Merseyside clubs -
