Everton set to unveil four new Giants at Goodison Park

I know I had some written debate with Dr, Francis why Duncan McKenzie was in the hall of fame and Tommy Ring wasn’t although there wasn’t much difference in the amount of games they each played for Everton.

Are there two different types of being acknowledged as a famous Everton Player, Hall of Fame being one and another one with a different name?

The giants and stone are okay, and recognition, but it would be nice to see something akin to the Holy Trinity. I'm not sure of the name. I've thought the untouchables, because that's what it often felt like at the time.

And whilst I loved Duncan McKenzie to the moon and back I'm very surprised to learn he was inducted into the hall of fame - he was brilliant on his day and an entertainer but we won nothing in his brief stay with us.

I think you're confusing the Everton Hall of Fame with the Gwlady's street hall of fame which Dr David France does. That one already had Bracewell for example in it as far ago as 2017. Link

I have no clue who does the Everton hall of fame. Sounds like something Kenwright probably started. No doubt he is in it if so.

Beating them means a lot, but isn't success. I'll celebrate any victory over them with satisfaction.

Winning 2 league titles, a European trophy and coming very close the a 3rd title and another FA Cup, that would have seen us do the double in 3 seasons was an achievement and I'm fortunate to have witnessed it.

I think only Bracewell missed out on the 86-87 triumph, having not made enough appearances. The forgotten champions. Such an underrated, but classy player. Not underrated by Evertonians I should add.

Touching on what Dave mentions, who does decide the criteria and who makes the decision? Are the FAB involved to gauge the supporters' view. I appreciate that could generate many different opinions, but I feel it could and should be a contributing factor when considering nominations before making a decision.

I've got a stone on the Everton Way, courtesy of my son. It simply says "O'Neill, Dad and Lad".

A generation apart, he has seen little, just glimmers of hope, whereas I enjoyed that period first hand. Thank you for the memories and the great times we enjoyed. Hand it over Liverpool!!

These players and others of that period deserve more recognition at the Everton Stadium.

One last word. Sheedy. You all knew it was coming!!

He was never the same player afterwards, esp in his speed and ability to press. Still made about 600 career appearances, but only after remodeling his game as more of a holding player.

For around 18 months he was arguably the most effective box to box, pressing midfielder in the country.

Michael K, use your considerable influence please.

You only have to watch the Cup-Winners Cup Final, no one could get near him, spraying passes left right and centre. Such a shame his main attributes were cut short at only 23 years old.

Methinks Kenwright lovers have had a major hand in the selection because the three I've mentioned are on record, some repeatedly, criticising him in effect, for utterly barren decades.

But I'm a little puzzled. All four are already famous members of the Gwladys Street's Hall of Fame… so has Dr David France's unique vision and unofficial creation now been superseded by the real thing? I don't recall it ever being embraced by the club.

Indeed, the Quiz page says "the Club's official Hall of Fame was created in 1999" whereas Gwladys Street's Hall of Fame was inaugurated by Dr France in 1996.

Maybe the clue is in the "list of Everton Giants" mentioned on the quiz page? And the tenure of individual Giants listed there?

Can anyone remember back to 1999? Perhaps the real EFC Hall of Fame was announced in a matchday programme? As their website back then was rubbish.
