13. Graeme Sharp (1980-91)
432 appearances, 150 goals
“Sharp! What a fantastic goal! An unbelievable finish from Graeme Sharp! And the Evertonians have gone berserk!”
His Anfield goal will stay in our hearts and stick in the gullet of Liverpool fans for years. The cathartic 30 yard half-volley started with a Stevens’ long pass and ended with Sharp, who stroked the ball down and rifled it over Grobbelaar’s head. We would beat Liverpool again later in the season, become champions and win our solitary European trophy, and Sharp’s goal makes all those memories flutter back. Behind only Dixie Dean in terms of scoring, Sharp – a £120,000 signing from Dunfermline – went on to score 150 goals, playing in Royal Blue for over a decade.
