32. Bobby Collins (1958-62)

147 appearances, 48 goals

Collins was only 5ft 4in, his career at Everton was only four years, and yet he made a lasting impression. An inside forward with amazing awareness, it only took two campaigns for the ‘Pocket Napoleon’ to be top scorer. He went on to bigger success at Leeds United where he won player of the year in 1965 and was described by manager Don Revie as a ‘teacher’ on the pitch. However, Evertonians still remember his sharp passing and how he demanded the ball as if possession were his oxygen. Above all, Collins lays his claim for a place on this list with the way he took responsibility for pulling the socks up of the whole team, twice helping the Blues avoid the drop.
