Everton legend Paul Bracewell celebrates his 60th birthday today but Peter Reid, his partner in the Blues engine room reckons that a player who he believes operated at the same level as the likes of the more-celebrated Bryan Robson, Glenn Hoddle and Ray Wilkins doesn’t get the credit he deserves beyond the confines of Goodison Park. Signed from Sunderland for £250,000 in May 1984, Bracewell soon established himself at the heartbeat of Everton’s most-successful side and within 12 months, he had won both the League Championship and European Cup-Winners’ Cup.
