"Duncan Ferguson elbowed me in the neck three times and I was
beginning to get a bit angry. I swore at him in Austrian and I know
he couldn't possibly have understood it. Even so, he suddenly swung
round and thumped me in the stomach. He got sent off, but I began
to appreciate how he earned his reputation as a hard man. It was
a nice punch, I have to say." *
'I
was running back to the center circle after I scored the second
goal against Liverpool and pure elation welled up inside me. I remember
thinking: "I just love this place - I want this place forever"
' *
"Duncan became a legend before he became a player at Everton." *
"I will never, ever forget the Everton fans. The support
I have received from the people of Liverpool is special. Everton
fans are part of my blood because of the way they have stood by
me. Their loyalty to me is one of the main reasons why I love Everton
so much." *
"It was like guiding a rabid dog home." *
"I
think he's Uranian." *
“When I signed, I was told I was going to be the first of many big
money signings. Someone was telling fibs”. *"Don't
Forget Boys! 'One Evertonian Is Worth Twenty Liverpudlians'" *
“We
probably hated him more than the fans. He blatantly stole results
from us on more than one occasion” *
“That’s a home win and an away draw inside four days. We’ve only got
one more game in November, and if we win that, I’m in grave danger
of becoming Manager of the month." *
"I'm a hush puppy now." *
"I made my debut at Goodison against Stoke and was standing in
the tunnel waiting to go onto the pitch. Z cars started playing on
the PA and I heard the crowd roar. If I could bottle a moment and
save it forever, then that would be it." *
"I was in the crowd when Bob Latchford scored a penalty in the
last minute, there was a mass invasion of the pitch and I was one
of those who ran on." *
"Andy Gray is an ugly bastard in the morning and I can vouch
for that because I've slept with him a few times." *
"You couldn't write a story like this - a village team from Wales
playing the European champions. I would have preferred to get someone
a lit bit easier so we could still be in when the big clubs like Everton
come in in the third round" *
"Everton are a bigger club than Liverpool. Everywhere you go
on Merseyside you bump into Everton supporters." *
"The way the club look after their ex-players, the way the ex-players
come back and talk so highly of the supporters and the club, the way
their supporters treat their players, it's really one big circle here,
it's never-ending and I think once you're in the circle, there's no
way out of it, I think you're stuck with it and....I'm certainly in
that circle now" *
"Once Everton has touched you nothing will be the same" *
When we came out for the second half against Bayern Munich
the roar literally made my hair stand on end." *“So
much has been made of Wayne – the fact is, we shall have to use him
at the right times. Sometimes he wants to win the game all on his
own and someday he might be capable of it, but he’s still only 16
and has a lot to do. At his age, we can’t expect him to carry Everton
Football Club on his shoulders." *"I'd
break every bone in my body for any club I play for but I'd die for
Everton" *"Now
Zidane, easily outstripped by Gravesen.'' *"Lloyd
McGrath is lucky he's not running in a gelding plate now. That tackle
was so high it was very nearly a squeaky - voice job." *"..with
Manchester City it was a love affair, but with Everton it's more like
a marriage'' *"I
hear Big Fergie likes a few pints, loves to stay out late and chase
the birds and gives a bit of lip in training; in my book he has all
the ingredients of a good footballer." *"I
taught football to him not as a game, but as a way of life." |
