WAGGY HAILS ‘PHENOMINAL’ BLUES
Everton Legend Dave Watson has labelled the club's Champions
League qualification as 'a phenomenal achievement'.
Waggy, the last captain to lead an Everton side in a European
tournament (the 1995-6 ECWC) was delighted with the outcome at
Highbury and is already relishing the prospect of watching The
Blues in the biggest domestic competition of them all.
"It was a great result at Arsenal but we've finished
fourth on our own merit, no question about that," he said.
"We didn't need any help from anybody but I'm glad
that Arsenal did us a little favour because it's done and
dusted now with a couple of games to go.
"David Moyes and the players deserve all the credit in the
world. It's a phenomenal achievement to qualify for the
Champions League twelve months after finishing fourth from
bottom."
The former centre-half who played over 500 matches for Everton is
now looking for the club to move forward and make this type of
season a regular occurrence.
"We've had good seasons in the past and haven't
managed to sustain it for one reason or another," he said.
"We've done terrific this season and there is now so much
to look forward to next year.
"The prospect of playing the likes of Real Madrid at Goodison
is great for the fans and I just hope that we give a good account
of ourselves in the competition.
"It will be a brilliant experience for the players and
it's something they thoroughly deserve. They've given
everything this season and I'm made up for them."
Waggy also declared his admiration for the boss!
"He's done unbelievable job," he said.
"He's had the smallest squad in the Premiership and
he's got such a lot out of them.
"Everyone speaks about the players he lost before the season
and then during the season but I'd rather discuss the lads
still here. They never lost focus and they responded to the knocks
in the best possible way. The manager deserves all the praise he
gets"
