If you could sign one retired player????

Just as a bit of fun/less depressing

if you could sign one retired footballer who would it be?

I am looking for answers that would improve our current team so, Pele for example, I don't think is what we need.

I would like Duncan Fergusson (the first time he was at Everton), big man upfront that also knows where the goal is and wouldn't take any shit from anyone, players/manager/burglars

Shearer is a good shout.

More interesting would be one retired Charlton player. Out of my 20 years following us I'd say Bartlett or Andy Hunt would be decent shouts.

Any one of the below to fill big gap

Derek Hales... Sam Bartram (RIP)... Keith Peacock... Allan Simonsen

For our current team, probably Shearer.

Former Charlton players, agree with Bartlett or possibly Rufus.

Gary Poole. Failing that Zidane.

Serious ex Charlton - Mendonca or rufus

Saga Lout

Scott Parker (what? He hasn't retired yet? Bollocks!).

Alan Simonsen, as he'd be used to joining us when we're in complete meltdown.............

On a serious note, As Dazzler said Thierry Henry all day long...............

Thierry Henry. With a team like ours you need a player who can make something out of nothing. If he's busy though, I'll take Zidane.

Eddie Firmani - by a country mile. Worth the entrance fee on his own - would be an absolute education for anyone we have playing in the front six today - was an absolute master in leading the line and bringing others into play and could score goals.

Maradona, we need some divine intervention like the 'Hand of God'
