• I never understood the vitriol towards Rooney. Take away your fan mindset and if your lad was as good as he was then surely your telling him to go to a club competing at the very top? Otherwise you end up like Matt Le Tissier or Alan Shearer, a local hero with very little to show for it. ...
  Liam Mogan in Rooney meets Francis Jeffers... “Leaving Everton Killed Me”
• He must have lost that movement pretty sharpish, Tony, as after he left us, he just shot blanks....
  Liam Mogan in Rooney meets Francis Jeffers... “Leaving Everton Killed Me”
• I never held it against Rooney leaving, he went on to have a trophy laden, stellar career, something he wouldn't have had with us. We we're treading water as a club back then without ambition (has much changed)?. Lets hope times are changing, for too long mid table medocrity has subconciously been accepted at our club. Ambition isn't a dirty word...what's our motto again??...
  Tony Hughes in Rooney meets Francis Jeffers... “Leaving Everton Killed Me”
• I still haven’t seen a young player with movement as good as Franny Jeffers, Liam. I loved watching him play, still remember his lovely little reverse pass for Kevin Campbell, at Anfield, and the way he used to bend his run, or find that little bit of space that enabled him to peel away and then find the shortest route towards his opponents goal. He left too early, and wasn’t ready to, replace players like Henry, wright and Bergkamp, (not many forwards in world football could have replaced those three, in an arsenal shirt, imo) and was another very good young player who was allowed to leave because of the circumstances around having a conman owner....

• I loved watching Pienaar, thought Baines, was a very good player, but only Timmy Cahill, had that real winning attitude out of the players mentioned, imo. Rooney, had it in spades, the little scouse bastard, didn’t give a flying f*** for anyone when he was out on the football pitch, and although I’m sure he regretted kissing the United badge, the kid had balls, and was an out and out winner. Everton haven’t had a real winning mentality since Joe Royle left, and then it got a lot worse on Boxing Day 1999, when the second rate actor purchased Everton. A second rate actor kidded thousands of Evertonians, he allegedly phoned his mother crying, telling her United, had robbed the boy, what a f***ing fraud, and still we haven’t regained our winning mentality, 31 years f***ing later....
