Besic and Broadhead added to 25-man senior squad
At the conclusion of the Winter transfer window, and confirmation of a number of players leaving on loan, Everton have added two names to the squad of senior players eligible to play for the club in senior fixtures, with Nathan Broadhead being promoted for the U23s and Mo Besic invited in for the cold after he failed to secure a move to a new club.
Each Premier League squad can contain no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the “Homegrown Player” criteria. The rest of the squad, up to a total of 25 players, must be “Homegrown”. Everton now list 11 homegrown players in the senior squad.

A shame he never fully recovered and had the career I thought he could.
He plays like a frustrated player and never matured. He can be a liability but as a 70's hatchet man, he looks the part but his body can't take the hits.

Besic's middle name isn't published, but I've always inserted a certain word in the middle of his moniker. It starts with an F.

That's a rhetorical question, right?

And I include all the greats in that.

I am going to sound a bit daft now. I went to my first match in 1980, Latchford hat-trick, 5-0 against Palace, so never got to see him live probably. If I did it has faded from memory. He may have left by then. We had McBride in.
But, Thomas has often been lauded by those who saw him in the flesh.
Didn't Thomas also form a right sided partnership with Colin Todd for way too short of a time? Right wing was never popular in the city!

He was responsible for helping Latchford get a lot of his 30 goals in a season, but I don't think they counted assists those days.

A little research, looks like he assisted 15 of Latchford's goals that 77/78 season.
Wow!

I wish him well.

He also seemed to be something that wingers often aren't - consistent.
Oh, and pretty tough!

In those days of either rock hard or mud heap pitches he played in baseball boots.

As for Alex Scott, he was inconsistent with his crossing but boy did he know how to beat a man, or any number of men dribbling down that right wing.
