only ever seen him play for Scotland, and never seemed out of place, more than holding his own,
despite his age and lack of 1st team appearance for the Gers.
But the transfer fee, seems a bit steep.

Everton have appointed their former striker Graeme Sharp as a non-executive director to advise on football strategy.
The club are currently undertaking a review of football operations after the departure of director of football Marcel Brands in December.
Sharp will remain the club’s players’ life president but relinquish all other duties to focus on this role.
“This club is in my blood,” he said. " I have enjoyed many great days as a Blue - and joining the board and being able to play a part in shaping Everton’s future is one of the greatest honours of all."
The 61-year-old played 447 times for Everton between 1980 and 1991 and is the club’s second-highest goalscorer behind Dixie Dean.
“We were determined to have someone join us with not only great knowledge of Everton but also extensive football insight and experience,” said chairman Bill Kenwright.
“Someone who could support and challenge. And in Sharpy’s case we’ve got this in abundance.”

Fascinating. What has he been doing since he retired from playing?
First he did some Coaching for Oldham Athletic and Bangor City.
Later on:
Sharp now works for the local press in Liverpool and radio for Radio City in the north-west of England and is one of the Everton Club Ambassadors alongside Ian Snodin and Graham Stuart.

Cue the theme from Mission Impossible.
"Benitez is looking to ‘create a winning mentality’ at Everton and said ‘you need players that really want to be here’.
Rafa putting the message out loud and clear to all the other wannabee escapees
The Blueshite fans with their Poundland Banner at the game last night…
Remember when we were kids we used to write in that style in school with the chalk duster…
What an absolute joke of a club they are… why doesn’t the hierarchy condemn stuff like this…
One thing is for sure… They don’t deserve Rafa

Yeah, they should get relegated just for using that atrocious font. What’s wrong with this lot, haven’t they heard of Computer yet?

To be fair to them, most are still living in the 50’s so probably not

I watched the game with a group of 5 bluenose mates and they all said that they hoped Rafa was given time to turn it round. None of them wanted him gone. In fact they regarded him as the last chance saloon.
They were scathing about the idiots with the banner

Apparently Digne going to Villa is sending a lot of bitters over the edge. They say it’s all part of the conspiracy, Benitez is dismantling the club, by selling their best players to his mates.
