16. Bob Latchford Bob was one of Everton's all time scoring greats. 70's icon, England International, the Thierry Henry of his day (sounds good anyway). Bob was a hero to many, but not in the barnet department, as this photo shows. Bob overnight went from Mr Normal Hair doo, to this zany wacky Perm that was in vogue in the late 1970's. The manager of the time Gordon Lee was that fed up with Bob's mullet letting the dressing room down, that he banished Latch the Snatch to life in the Welsh Valleys as he moved onto Swansea. It never came out at the time, but the rumours behind Latch's move can now be confirmed. Terry Darracott we are told was that jealous of Bob's hairstyle, that it became a him or me situation in the dressing room. Terry won, Bob left. See Terrys Mullet (16/11/05) |

15. Sir Philip Carter Sir Phil, or Mr. Whippy for short is an institution at our great club. He reigned as Chairman through the clubs most successful period in the mid 80's, being instrumental in bringing Howard Kendall to the club. He kept faith with Howard when the going got a bit tough in the young manager's early days at the helm, so maybe a lesson for the board with Moyesy today. He was knighted for his services to something some time ago, and the Queen when knighting Phil could not help but comment on who his barber was. He is a blue through and through, and was made the Blues Life President when Blue Bill took over the helm. Top guy, top mullet. (11/10/05) |

14. Kevin Kilbane Kevin or Zinedine to his team mates, has the honour along with Biffa Beattie of making the Blue Mullet Hall of Fame, whilst still wearing the Royal Blue. Killa's barnet is legendary, and there is a tale behind it. When he was a youngster, Killa was told the biblical epic of Samson, the Hebrew strongman whose strength lay in his mullet. Samson was seduced by the gorgeous Delilah, who while he slept, gave him a short back and sides. Samson powers were no more, after Delilah's treachery. As a consequence Killa has a fear of barbers, and birds named Delilah, and Tom Jones records. (27/09/05) |

13. Alan Irvine Yes, Moyesy's right hand man once donned the Blue and White aswell. Back in the early 80's, Alan was a sprightly if gangly winger for the Blues. He appeared in the first Merseyside Cup Final of 1984 (Milk Cup), when the Blues were robbed of a Wembley winner when Alan HANDsen, handled the ball on the line. Yes, even in them days referee's conspired against us!! Alan lost favour then under Howard Kendall, as the dream team of the mid 80's started to take shape. He had been warned constantly to change his outrageous barnet, but the Scots winger was adamant, that the mullet stayed, so Alan went. Pondering back, Alan still remembers those days fondly, and instead of a lock of hair, he keeps a sports bag full of his barnet cuttings. (17/09/05) |

12. Dave Watson A true Everton Legend in every sense of the word. Dave was signed from Norwich for the start of the 1987 Season, and went on to win a Championship Winning Medal with the Blues. He lifted the FA Cup in 1995, when Captaining the lads to a famous victory over man ure in front of 100,000 at Wembley. Dave went onto mange the Blues in the late 90's after Big Joe got the bullet, but unfortunately none of these heroics, excuses his bowl type mullet of 1987. Thankfully we can put his barnet down to youthful exuberance, and the fact that the YTS lad at Vincent's used to cut his hair, as Dave used to get 50% off. (09/09/05) |

11. Graeme Sharp He may be Everton's post war record goal scorer, only second to Dixie in the all time goal scoring records with 150 to hit the onion bag. He scored in Cup Finals, won League Titles, European Honours, gained International Caps. Sharpy will always be remembered for his fantastic strike against the shite, he is a True Blue Everton hero, but Sharpy what in heaven's name were you thinking off when you went to the barbers. Sharpy
is still employed at the club as the Liaison Officer, and a fine job
he does as well. Part of his contract deemed that no perms were to
be permitted ever again within the walls of Goodison, as part of Sharpy's
job is touring schools, and it would not be fair on the kids.

10. Paul Wilkinson Everton's surprise signing in the 80's from lowly Grimsby was Paul Wilkinson. Wilko scored the goal that put us out of the 1984/85 Milk Cup, and Howard Kendall saw enough of him in that game to sign him in later years. Wilko footballing talent was never in question, but obviously his hair style was. He brought to Goodison everything bad from the fishing hamlet that is Grimsby, and that included his outrageous mullet. In fairness to the lad, these hair styles were the fashion of the day, but thankfully like the 80's itself they are long behind us. Limahl from Kajagoogoo was said to model himself on Wilko, as did Joan Collins, Bette Midler, Jane Fonda and alike. (18/08/05) |

9. Abel Xavier You know him, signed for us, done OK. Flogged him to the Foolier at the shite, were he did even worse. His hairstyle's were more famous than his footballing ability. (28/07/05) KNOBROT |
