Joe-Max No Moore! No Moore!

Just confirmation that Joe has finally done one. We thank him for having a great name to sing to.
Joe - max says: “The supporters have been great to me. The Evertonians are a special bunch and they never gave me anything less than 100% backing. I’m just glad that I had the odd opportunity to repay them with a few goals. The team is in a great position right now and I’m sure that David Moyes can take it from strength to strength. I will certainly be keeping in touch with the team’s fortunes when I am back in the States. I am aware of the history of Everton and I am extremely proud to have played for the club on more than 60 occasions. I hope all the players and staff, and the supporters have a great Christmas.”

Cheers Joe. Any time you are in Gingers in Chicago. Mention Blue Kipper & you'll be on free ale. (13/12/02)

Joe-Max No Moore!

Everton have not renewed Joe-Max's work permit which expired on 1st December and it looks as though we have seen the last of him, as forecast by Bluekipper below back in October. Rumours that Joe was last seen with a banjo chasing a pig around Bellefield (Moysey had the pig brought in to see if Joe-Max could hit it's arse) - were completely untrue. At 31 and with 10 goals in 64 appearances he must see the writing on the wall with the emergence of Chadwick, Rooney & Big Dunc! One hot spell of a goal a game for 5 games in Jan/Feb 2000 gave us false hopes but thanks for the good times. (03/12/02)

Back To The States?

With the Rad & Super Kev in possession of the attacking roles at the moment, & The Duke & Chadders the young pretenders waiting for a chance, Joe-Max is way down the line to get a game for the 1st team. He is currently fit, having got over the injury he sustained in the world Cup, & playing reserve team football. Joe could return to the States with New England Revolution at the end of the year. Joe's work permit and Everton contract both expire in December. (31/10/02)

Joe Plays for the Reserves

Joe-Max Will Fight For A Place

Joe -Max is on his way back to full fitness and he is determined to fight for his place. He has had a nightmare start to the season and has just recovered from injury sustained to his knee in the World Cup game against Poland.

Joe-Max said: "I want to prove myself here, even though I've had my ups and downs since I arrived. But when I'm playing for the team and scoring some goals, there's no better place to play in the world.

It's a very important time for me because my contract is up in the summer. I want to get fit, impress the manager and try to force my way back into the reckoning."(03/10/02)
