I saw him score a great goal after a mazy run through the middle of the QPR defence on the plastic pitch at Loftus Rd in January '87. Never seen it since. Don't think the TV cameras were there to record it.
He was one of the best two strikers i have ever seen.one is ian wright another one is andy gray. İt can be changed.he was a real striker. except of 1984-85, i would not think of supporting everton.bit at that years,it was a legend.andy and everton had made me so happy.thanks to him.the people who live in britain are very luky to meet andy gray.
Leeds here: I think Dalglish, as manager, created the best club team/squad I think I've ever seen. I was in my early 20's and was in awe of this team of mercurial talents. The players in that squad which Dalglish melded were unbelievable. They were almost psychic in knowing what to do at such speed without looking for each other. Phenomenal: Me and my mate, both Leeds followers said that the 5-0 caning of Forest in a league game (I think) said that was the best game we'd ever seen. I couldn't identify, or single out out, any individual because, as a team, they were mesmeric. Alex Ferguson knew who he had to beat, to emulate, to be the man who created the next generation, but to me, being a football 'fan', this topped everything. To you lucky scousers who were there, witnessing this poetry, history will be told of such genius talent and outright passion. Football now is full of cheats; falling and collapsing at being brushed or even breathed upon. I can't even watch games any more. I don't even recognise it as a viable sporting entertainment, and when we discuss England with their current incumbent manager...well, I'd rather remember that 5-0 demolition of football purity.
Insane how modern he looks. If it wasn't for sky dreaming English football started in 92 were they own the broadcasting rights, he'd be remembered up there with Beckenbauer, Cannavaro, Maldini.
Did he not win honours with Partic Thistle against Celtic on a rainy soaked Hampden Park? Wish him good health and speedy recovery! A great personality graced the football turfs! Blessings!
Alex Young, one of the all time greats of Everton! Brilliant all-round forward with superb technical skills and also a great header of the ball with his magnificent leap.
People also forget that during much of the 90s, Everton had a very poor team. And, one of the main reasons, arguably the main reason, they stayed in the Premier League was Southall. A lot of people talk about Big Nev in the 80s yet forget the 90s.
Peop[e forget that English clubs were excluded between 1985-90 from European football and that impacted Stevens development (i think), it made him less disciplined distribution wise...but a very attack minded and forward thinking right back...
He doesn’t get talked about enough all these Flags every week at the St End about ex players but not one about the last player to Lift a Trophy for are Club in 95💙
When football was football. How can you even compare today’s out of touch money grabbing prima Donna’s who have no love for their clubs or passion for the game.
Missed him on MOTD. but if you dont lick BBC bottoms they dont like it. he got out at the right time. Old school say it as it is. A Bryan Ferry fan you know...He was sat behind me at the lowry.
