Cost us 6 million from Everton in 2001.

Everton  replaced the missing Ball by signing  Alan Stubbs on a free transfer from cellic.

No they didn't.

Yes they did. 

"He was deployed as both a left-back and a left midfielder during his time at the Blues, but it was actually in the centre of defence were Ball had his best spell in an Everton shirt, under the stewardship of Walter Smith."

Ball played for Everton in 2000/2001 and Stubbs played from 2001/2002 onwards. 

Which is why the joke worked so well at both levels, was factually true that "one ball" replaced another Ball.

Ball was a classy left footer , showed huge promise early in his career but never really fullfilled it , was a decent squad player when fit and could strike a ball sweetly off his left peg , scored on his debut V dynamo Moscow infront of a jam packed Ibrox.

So you've based this on Walter Smith playing him out of position for a few games? Cool.

Very cool, was a decent joke and one which generated a lot of interest, including yourself. 

If you want to have a laugh feel free.

If you want to start an argument wee man, fuck off to another thread and pick on someone your own size.
