28. Chris Woods

Although never playing for the Blues, Chris Woods has been at Bellefield for many season's now in a goal keeping coach capacity.

Chris burst onto the scene in the late 1970's when he deputised for Peter Shilton in the great Notts Forest side that swept everything before them. Chris won a League Cup medal at Forest, before moving on to enjoy a great career at Norwich and Rangers, were the Scots won everything there was to win in Scotland.

The keeper was capped many times for his country taking over as England's No 1, when Shitter Shilts retired. All this is very good, but would you swap it all for a mullet like this, c'mon wasn't the 70's and 80's all about being an individual, experimenting with your barnet, not this public school boy effort.

Rumours abound the reason Chris never joined the Blues earlier in his career is nothing to do with the great Neville Southall being the best keeper in the World, it was all to do with, yes you've guessed it his barnet. Jesus Chris did you ever keep your dinner money !! (26/11/06)

27. Peter Reid

Peter Reid, Player of the Year in 1985, League Title Winner, not once but twice, FA Cup Winner, European Honours, and an Everton Legend if ever there was one. This guy would run through a brick wall for you, and by the kip of his hair on this photo it looks like he has.

Reidy marshaled the Everton midfield through the great times of the 1980's alongside Brace, Tricky Trev and Sheeds. He was in control of things on the pitch, but unfortunately not in the bathroom, as the Vosene had a mind of its own. However hard he tried he just could not get the fizz out of his hair, that's why he opted for the not so trendy rig out that we can see him in, complete with Sid James hat, to hide his torrid mullet.

Reidy was feared by opposition the length and breadth of the country, but with his mullet in fine fettle, the women in the Club Conty, Pick a Dicks, and The Big G, could sleep safely with Reidy, his bad clobber and his barnet on the loose. (19/10/06)

 

26. Adrian Heath

Adrian 'Inchy' Heath was part of that successful mid 80's side that swept everything before it. The diminutive striker was Sharpy's original partner till a horrific injury caused, by Brian 'shit ouse' Marwood, and the signing of Andy Gray changed all that.

He hung around long enough though to see off Andy Gray and Gary Lineker to win another title in 1987, were he was a virtual ever present. This is surprising considering his mullet, as I if was Howard Kendall I would have ordered an immediate barnet chop of this disaster, and also bollicked him for the shite coloured top he is wearing in this photo.

He may have had the nickname Inchy, but we have it on good authority that he was the longest in the shower, no not his John Thomas, I meant longest in the shower, as he was fannying around tarting up his awful barnet. (28/09/06)

 

Then

Now

25. Gary Lineker

Everton had the golden boy of English football for one short season back in 1985/86. Links scored 40 goals, when we missed out on the Double, well less said the better about that. Off he went to an International Tournament, ended up top scorer, and moved on for pastures new, see it has happened to us before.

Links unbelievably was the Golden Boy of his generation even with this barnet, but maybe his Leicester up bringing can be bought into play here. You see it was a local custom that you got your best mate to cut your barnet, not the local barber. By the way Gary's best mucka' is no other that Snooker leg end Willie Thorne, he off the no hair fame. Maybe that is what Willie was longing for as he cut Link's locks, a full mullet however bad it was, and one that he never owned himself.

Anyway Gary went onto fame and fortune selling crisps for a living, oh and presenting MOTD for the BBC. He also occasionally remembers when it suits him that he once pulled on the Royal Blue, played and scored in an FA Cup Final for us, and received a League Championship Runners Up medal. (23/08/06)

24. Alan Biley

Alan Biley holds the honour of being the only ex Everton player to make it onto the barnet Hall of Shame twice, due to his extraordinary bad mullet. When we at bluekipper thought of Blue Mullets it was in honour of no other that Mr. Biley who without doubt must hold the dubious honour of the worst footballing barnet in Everton's history, if not soccer itself.

Carlos Valderamma was said to have modelled his own mop in the style of Biles, and even Bob Geldof was said to been keen on having a Biley as it was christened down in the fashionable salons of the major cities of Europe; Milan, London, Madrid, Ellesmere Port.

Thanks to Paul Kayley who bumped into Alan the other week at his local Pound Stretcher and took this snap of him, honest, see it hasn't changed.
