Goodison Maestros : The 50 Greatest Everton Players Since 1945

Everton Football Club are a Merseyside institution.

From Harry Catterick's 'School of Science' via Howard Kendall's all-conquering team of the mid-80s to today's resurgence under David Moyes, the Blues have frequently challenged for the greatest prizes in the English game.

Meanwhile the club has enjoyed a century in the top flight of English football, an achievement underlining the clubs standing in the game.

In "Goodison Maestros", author Dean Hayes selects the 50 greatest players to have pulled on an Everton jersey since the war.

Naturally any such selection will be subjective; how could one compare 'The Golden Vision' Alex Young with the likes of eighties heroes Sharp, Gray and Reid and modern day wonderkid Wayne Rooney?

Whatever the argument, Hayes' choices are bound to be controversial.
