Who is the definitive star of Everton‘s Premier League era? Is it Wayne Rooney, who was so obviously special, right from the get-go?
Or perhaps it was Romelu Lukaku, whose goalscoring feats at Goodison Park impelled Manchester United to fork out £90m to sign him, maybe giddy at the thought of replicating their near £30m signing of Rooney some 13 years earlier.
Tim Cahill would be another forward of genuine quality who is still held in fond memory, while Gareth Barry and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta form a midfield to be reckoned with – both thrived in the engine room.
Who else? Phil Jagielka completed 385 appearances for the Toffees and was a “real leader” for the club, as pundit Alan Shearer once praised him.
