Royston Thomas Vernon scored 111 goals in his 200 matches for the Toffees, despite his habit of smoking in the tunnel both pre- and post-match as he was a prolific chain smoker - if he had not touched the deadly weed he may have been better than Law & Greaves - he was prolific in speed over 9 yards. He also scored prolifically for Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City in his times there.
