29. Adrian Heath (1981-89) 293 appearances, 89 goals A club-record-signing when he joined Everton from Stoke City in January 1982 for £700,000, little Adrian Heath brought guile to Everton’s midfield. Health was a polyglot player who was comfortable speaking both the language of a forward and a midfielder. Intelligent off-the-ball movement meant that the pitter-patter of Inchy’s feet was heard everywhere, most obviously with his vital goal against Oxford in the League Cup, a game that marked a change in fortunes for Howard Kendall and his team.
