Gary Linker was a quality striker one of the best during his era, I very much admired him as a player very calm and gentlemanly. Amazing stat about what he did at Everton and he still didnt win a first div league title when they won the league before he joined and after he left and the fact thet he scored 40 goals in the one season he was there.

[@jameshughes9329]

Lineker was unlucky to be fair not to win the league at Everton, he scored 40 goals. Liverpool and Everton were comfortably the best two teams in British football in that era so the fact that he missed winning the league title and the the same year Everton winning the European Cup Winners Cup ( which was a proper European trophy that allowed only winners to participate by the way) it's fair to say old Gary was a tad unlucky lol

[@leebush4053]

Lineker was not at Everton when they won the ECWC or the league in 85. He transferred to Everton in 85 and left in 86 after the world cup. Everton won the league again in 1987.

[@henryb160]

The reason they didn't retain the title was because they changed the team to accommodate Lineker. Everton also lost the FA cup final to Liverpool in that year (1986). So Everton changed the team for Lineker only to lose the 'Double'. Then Lineker fucked off to Spain and Everton started winning trophies again. Hated man in Liverpool. Now a hated man throughout the land.

[@TheGiantKillers]

Everton threw the title away in '86 in one game at Oxford, which they should have won at a canter but on the night were flattered to only lose 0-1. Liverpool beat Chelsea 1-0 that weekend to clinch the title. Chelsea were a terrible team back then but if they had somehow pulled off a shock result that day it would have set up perhaps the most nail-biting title finish of all time. Everton's last game was against West Ham a few days later and it would have been a scenario where Everton would be champions with a win, West Ham would be champions with a win and Liverpool would be champions with a draw.
