He was a pretty good I seem to remember, signing him and John Collins that summer looked like really good business, shame he was such a Primadonna who thought Everton beneath his talents (Collins that is!). Wish Dacourt had stayed longer.
Played for Italian Everton Roma too, for a few years.

I'm sure I was at Goodison for his debut, was it against Villa when Collins missed a pen? Remember leaving that day thinking we had a real player there, spraying passes around in a way more impressive way than Vinny Samways.
Was gutted when he turned up at Leeds.

This was his night for us. Good player.
He worked out Everton quickly and left for better things.
Yes I was at that game matteratzie also made is debut ( sorry about the spelling )
The clubs weren’t ready for the overseas players quite then if they weren’t a first season success. Now it’s accepted that it will take a season of adjustment before foreign players get going. Both Materazzi and Dacourt probably fell foul to this and a spiralling Everton entering the turbulent Johnson days, but both players went on to have very good careers. Right players, wrong time.
