Favourite Fantasy Squad Ever?

Comments (3)

Just a bit more fun really with this one. I appreciate the fact it may have been done before but who cares!

From keeper to striker, who would you choose in your fave Everton side since the first game you went?

You can only select players you have seen play for Everton live. For those few who have never been to a game, you can only select players you who have played from the first televised game you saw.

You can select any formation, also, your fave manager.

The selections do not have to be based on talent, just your personal favourites, and please give you reasons for you decision.

If you want to (which I am sure you will) you can also select 5 substitutes).

Add to this your fave home and away strips if you like.

Here is my matchday squad:

1. Neville Southall
(Aside from his obvious abilities as one of the worlds finest goalkeepers, he was such a character. Brave and honest, he always gave 100%, his looks still make me laugh. 'Dragged through a hedge backwards' and 'Just got out of bed' were his fave matchday styles. The best!

2. Matt Jackson
Solid and dependable, helped us score the winner in the '95 final, and ran with a very camp hand posture.

3. Andy Hinchcliffe
Simply because his corners onto the heads of the RAF (Rideout & Ferguson) prompted the birth of the "Ooh it's a corner" song. Priceless.

4. Joe Parkinson
I admit, I loved him. His passion was unmatched, he even tackled Barry Horne in the FA Semi '95. Vastly underrated, still a top bloke.

5. Dave Watson
No explanation needed for Mr Everton. Total legend to me and always will be.

6. Joleon Lescott
Although very early in his career, I know he will become great, and his goal are keeping us from crying at the moment.

7. Andrei Kanchelskis
Unbelievable winger who scored 16 goals from the wing, as well as creating many too. Awesome!

8. Mikel Arteta
Obvious. One of the most talented players around. Can bamboozle the opposition with ease. Often produces the end result too. Superstar.

9. Duncan Ferguson
Icon, hero, thug, passionate, battering ram, giver of hope in a dark time. He reignited our passion. Thank you!

10. Tony Cottee
Diminutive striker who I felt was underrated by many. Could alway grab a goal and he was the star of the RS 4-4 draw.

11. Anders Limpar
Exciting winger who I loved, although I admit he was inconsistant, him and Andrei on opposite wings, class!
