8 Everton Players Who Won Trophies After Leaving Goodison
4. Tobias Linderoth
One of the least successful players to feature on this list, Tobias Linderoth didnt have the best of times at Goodison Park. He arrived in 2001 for a fee of £2.1 million in order to help ease Evertons crippling midfield injury crisis at the time. Sadly, an unremarkable spell on Merseyside was marred by injuries and he only managed to make 40 appearances for the Blues, scoring a solitary goal against Charlton Athletic in the League Cup. Although he did not prove to be the coup that many had considered he would be, a few fans considered him unadventurous and quietly effective which both led to him being labelled as anonymous by the fan base. He was sold to FC Copenhagen in the summer of 2004 as Everton manager David Moyes got rid of a host of players that season, with Linderoth being left out of the Blues travelling party to Houston. The Swede went on to become a first team regular, and captain, at Copenhagen as the Danish side won the Danish Superliga for two consecutive years in 2005-06 and 2006-07 and their Royal League tournament in 2004-05 and 2005-06. In June 2007, Linderoth signed a three-year contract with Galatasary where he would eventually only make 13 league appearances in a three-year spell. Despite that, he still managed to win the Turkish Süper Lig in 2007-08 and the Turkish Super Cup in 2008. Not a bad haul for a player who is regarded as one of Evertons worst ever players.
