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

[Professor Toffee]

I wanted to be Joe Royle, my hero

 

[zukai12_]

Cahill

Ronaldinho too

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Roberto Baggio.

For one fated summer I got a mullet and my sister tied the back into braids into a little ponytail.

For some reason I even wore a bandana to complete my ensemble.

That was not the Summer I lost my virginity.

 

[paultheblue]

Bally for me

But this thread assumes that those dreams have gone , I'm 67 but have not yet stopped dreaming about playing for the blues.

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

Unfortunately when I play five a side after work the player I’m most like is probably Gazza during his spell at Everton ?

I’m Gazza now!!!

 

[Bluerover]

….Banks I presume, terrific players.

Correct Eggs. Other phone started ringing and multi-tasking ??? Moi??

I was really upset when he lost his eye in that accident.

RIP them all.

Lineker was the reason I started supporting Everton.

 

[Tigger]

I "would have" mate.
With the caveat that you were above the "would have" age.

Paul Bracewell as he came to my door and dropped off a signed England top and some photographs. My mum knew is mum, only time cronyism has helped me out.

Peter Reid

Lineker was the reason I started supporting Everton.

I'd forgotten just how quick he actually was
