Howard lauds Everton and Moyes in HoF speech

Very good keeper, probably stayed one season too many, but a great servant to the club.

Lost his way a bit with the fans toward the end for not commanding his area – when injured, Robles came in and did well for the three games and Howard was back in

As you say he was a great servant to the club and continues to be a great Ambassador for us.

Howard was a top keeper and pro for us during our Moyes era.
No disgrace being behind Pickford and Southall in my all-time goalie list for the Blues.

Nice comment on Man Utd and us.

I obviously wish Tim could have used the word 'winner' when describing everything that David Moyes helped him become when he was describing his time at Everton. I'm sure it would have been the icing on the cake for both of them, winning something for Everton.

Now, we need Tim Cahill and his advisors to hopefully provide deliverance for Evertonians. By God's help, the takeover of Everton FC must happen soon.

Nice words and he continues to promote Everton. Why don't we give him an official role to further the brand in North America. And get the scouting network up and running out there. I believe there is a pool of talent to tap into.

He was obviously touched by Everton. It's not difficult!!

That would have been the icing on the cake but given the bile that's often directed towards OFM it's a wonderful compliment. Obviously I'd have preferred a trophy but having someone say something like that about you.. it's a bit special in this modern world.

He was a good keeper and played a big part in the relative 'success' we had under David Moyes.

Going through a lot of crap just now but will rise from the ashes like a phoenix once we have a backer with true character!

Didn't Tim Howard have a personal invitation from Obama?

Any joined-up thinking at the club would lead quickly to what you suggest and although the directors have bigger concerns the marketing team should he all over this approach and opportunity.

I think it's probably the history, fans the old lady – they just can't get that in their country. They appreciate just how much has gone before them when they pull on the jersey.

It can't be underestimated the impact Moyes had on the club, and many players at that time who now consider themselves to be True Blues who never really had any affinity with the club before.

Others too from that era who really are in my opinion the type of player who are an example of what it means to play for this club. Think: Baines, Jagielka, Cahill, Howard, Hibbert, Graveson, Coleman…

I'd add Gordon West to the list. If he hadn't chosen to try and resolve family issues in 1970, he would have gone to Mexico and England would have won it.
