Our worst ever striker?

[BullensRoad]

Think off all the promise and excitement of having this absolute giant of a man come in, only for him to play 15 minutes, get injured and be out for the entire length of his loan - we paid his wages the entire time. Absolute disasterclass

I heard we were paying Slaven Bilic’s wages for years after he left.

Cool guy though.

In regards to strikers I’d refuse to put Straq and Niasse in due to their sheer effort and scoring some important goals.

You can't be having Stuart Rimmer on that list. He only played 3 games for Everton, but went on to have a great career in the lower leagues, particularly at Chester, where he was quite prolific, especially in his first spell.

For his length of time at the club and money earned I would say Duncan Ferguson we a have midfielder who scored more

 

[Frenk]

For the money Maupay

 

[Harryflashman]

The only man I’ve seen who would jump 2 feet in the air and his head was lower than when he was standing on the ground

Him and that Kevin Francis , 6’8” but turned into 5’2” in the air .

The joy of supporting Everton is that our worst ever striker is likely still to come. Things can (and usually do) get worse.

I remember travelling down to watch us at QPR and Angell and Barlow were the front two. I mean what a fall from grace as we'd been Champions about only 6 years before that.

Still won the cup at least!

Beattie what a load of crap he was one season 1 goal & that was penalty his other seasons were poor too - we paid 6 million for him - down the road at Crewe FC was a gem going for 1 million Dean Ashton - DM had lost the plot by then ....

Beattie has some nice moments, he was a talented player generally but he was so ill fitted to fill the Bent role as he couldn't be bothered to run.

At that time Ashton would have walked over broken glass to come to us...He'd would have been absolutely brilliant.

John Spencer just bloody awful !!

 

[T LEAFE]

Should have added Maupay , Ernie Hunt and Joe Harper

Harsh on Joe Harper

Very different side that won the cup from that day. Angell and Barlow had been kicked into touch by then. Also had Anders Limpar by then. Bit of Quality.

It was 2 months before the cup final. We had a small injury crisis so Barlow and Angell were up front as Ferguson Stuart and Rideout were injured (no surprise with Ferguson) and Amokachi had not worked his way into Royle's plans fully at that time (he came on as a sub).

Limpar played that day! He was a Walker signing.

Kind of mad that we had six strikers to pick from really.

Got beat by Blackburn at home the next game which was memorable for some of the worst time wasting I have ever seen. Shearer booted the ball into what felt like Stanley Park at one point.

You might be right mate. I can just recall it was early/mid ish 90s and we were playing in that stripey salmon pink kit. And i drove down so i couldnt even have a beer watching a mainly depressing side at the time.

When you put it like that , wow.

I was there myself that day , fair to say not an enjoyable afternoon for Brett who was hardly a crowd favourite.
