No brainer. Golden Vision. Bet I wasn't the only one.

Roy vernon, but I went on to like a cig, a bet, and a drink, so maybe it was not such a great role model, still a great player, and I'm a reformed character.

Aiden McGeady, I was crap.

Howard Kendal but my favourite was Peter Reid.

Ratcliffe, bracewell and cottee - I was Stuart McCall for 1 miserable day in '89 too.

I've been lucky as an Evertonian, born at the right time and tasted success as a boy and man. I've seen us win the League, FA Cup, even in Europe but this League Cup does my head in. Each year top teams get drawn against each other early on and a pathway seems to open up for a lesser side to get to the final. We've been close a few times but not for ages and all to often we go out unexpectedly early as we muck about with team selection in the early rounds.
This year there can be no excuse. After Reading no game until next Monday, so nobody needs a rest other than Barry who is one game a week max. So what team do we pick? We should be brushing the likes of Reading aside home or away.
Personally I wouldn't mess too much with the defence as we already have two young kids in there. You forget Stones is a kid too as he is class. I would play Jags and also Howard for this reason. Robles was better last year but only after a run of games and I think Galloway and Browning will be better with a few old heads around them.
We don't need two defensive midfielders. I'd play McCarthy and Barkley. Lennon and Del wide,
plus Naismith and Lukaku who ought to play and find the net again soon as I am getting fed up being too loyal with him in my fantasy team. Would like to see the Uruguay lad get a run out as sub too
Convincing win for me, but we've been in this sort of fixture before and the team will be nothing like the one I have picked.

{Ed025's Note - i like that team tedster, but i think i might give jags a blow and play mori from the start..

Agreed but I would Play Kone over Rom tonight.
