Everton Player of the Month, 1998-99

Each month during the 1997-98 season, the faithful fans on Toffeenet vote for their Everton Player of the Month, whether they deserve it or not. The results are compiled expertly by Nicholas Gard. Since the majority of voters probably don't even get to watch many games, the results may be viewed with a full dose of disdain and skepticism. But these are they so far this season:

Michael Ball – March 1998
Thomas Myhre – February 1998
Nick Barmby – January 1998
Thomas Myhre – December 1997
Craig Short -- November 1997
Danny Cadamarteri -- October 1997
Danny Cadamarteri -- September 1997
Slaven Bilic -- August 1997

DUNCAN FERGUSON -- Everton Player of the Year, 1998

A typically sparse response to The Toffeenet Everton Player of the Month vote for March, as number of votes is always inversely proportional to the number of points accumulated in a given month.

Anyway, a long overdue tip of the hat to our newest player of the month, Michael Ball (although my guess is we'll be seeing his name near the top again when I run player of the year voting at the season's close).

CRAIG SHORT -- Everton Player of the Month -- November 1997

The response was quite high for the Toffeenet Everton Player of the Month voting, despite the lack of quality to chose from. Not surprisingly, the three players who, according to match reports, showed the most consistent effort during the 0 for 5 month ended up on the majority of the ballots, and we have ended up with another first-time winner. Could this be the last appearance on the POTM standings for some of these players?

DANNY CADAMARTERI -- Everton Player of the Month -- October 1997

For the first time in the two years I have been running the Toffeenet Everton Player of the Month contest, we have had a back-to-back winner.
