Which player did you want to be when you were growing up ?

Same and looking back he was never really appreciated on the whole.
I’ve told this story before on here, but any excuse…

My grandad (who indoctrinated me as an Evertonian) didn’t like Cottee when he was at West Ham, and thought he was a bad signing.

I on the other hand just knew we’d signed someone for a record fee and therefore loved him. So my grandad said any time he scored a goal he’d give me £1, and £5 if he ever scored a hattrick.

Debut hattrick against Newcastle and I was a very rich 6 year old!
 

Breadsley … I even got the same hair cut lol

Then kanchelskis as I was a RW…. He was actually my favourite player before we signed him which was amazing .

Good story mate...although i always felt Cottee had plenty of fans, probably polarised opinions a lot, but he definitely had a sizable fan club.

Heath, to me, was never appreciated enough. I even recall he had an interview with Shoot (or Match) saying how little our fans appreciated him and always made him a scapegoat when things didn't go well (and this was during/after our successful period).
