in the world at the time. The one person mentioned was Southall. Who else do you think could be considered the best in the world in their position at the time? Gary Lineker? Dixie Dean? Any other possibles? I was always partial to Baines, I thought he was severely underrated outside of Everton supporters, he was brilliant for a couple of seasons although I know people would laugh at me for that. Sheedy 84/85? 14 goals as a winger. Before my time - Brian Labone, Ray Wilson? Talking out of my arse here, I've no idea how good they were. Anyway, thoughts if you fancy.
