Nobody voted Speed over Cahill? You have no clue about football.

Cahill had heart and a great knack of finding space. No pace, unable to tackle.

Gary Speed had absolutely everything.

Not even close.
Speed was the better player, no denying that. I selected Cahill for his overall contribution to Everton and his dedication to the club.
 

Steven
Arteta
Barry
Cahill

Kanchelskis is one of my all time favourite players though. I purposely asked for a top 2 sizes too big as a kid so that when I tucked it in and ran up the wing it would make the back look like a sail in the trade winds. I say up the wing not down the wing because I was mainly a right back, it probably never worked because I am not nor have never been very fast and I looked like a complete muppet because I was skinny so it made me look like I'd borrowed my dads jersey.

I'm just glad I wasn't an impressionable kid when Pienaar was playing......
 
It got asked in my WhatsApp group..
Trevor Steven Vs Andrei Kanchelskis
Mikel Arteta Vs Steven Pienaar
Joe Parkinson Vs Gareth Barry
Tim Cahill Vs Gary Speed

1) I didn't see Steven, my dad says Trevor Steven
2) Arteta
3) Parkinson (massively underrated)
4) Speed was a better player, but Cahill did more for the club. Speed was like a Cahill who was better on the ball and had better technique.
 
Speed left under the worst possible cloud after refusing to play in a game away to West Ham when he was club captain and we were struggling badly. I think we have all heard plenty of rumours why this happened, so need to go back over them, but it was a mess and nobody came out of it looking good.

The way he left will always leave a blemish, regardless of the facts behind the decision. His silence and ambiguity over his reasons, rather than protecting the club he loved, instead fuelled countless rumours and endless gossip, and it left a bitter taste because of how badly we needed his leadership and goals at the time. He took 100% of the blame on his shoulders and became a hate figure for many of the people left in the dark.
Think some of these comments are well wide of the mark.
* Speed never refused to travel to West Ham.
* His silence was due to his respect for the club & fans, not to protect himself.
* He left for the same reason that a certain person never got the England job
