Anders Limpar is an Evertonian – and Cup medal donation proves it
Anders Limpar 300[LNB]HE lives in Sweden, came to footballing prominence in Italy and spent four years winning trophies galore with Arsenal - but Anders Limpar considers himself a lifelong Evertonian.[LNB]And the Swedish stylist underlined his true blue devotion this week by donating his 1995 FA Cup winner's medal to the Everton Collection.[LNB]Limpar's role in that famous victory was significant.[LNB]He led the breakaway which ended with Paul Rideout's matchwinner against Manchester United - and he also hit a memorable 50-yard reverse-pass which BBC commentator Barry Davies described as the 'pass of the match.'[LNB] But now Limpar wants the Everton fans to share in the joy his Cup winning medal brings.[LNB]The Everton Collection is the world's greatest club collection of football memorabilia - an amalgam of the famed David France Collection and items already in storage at Goodison Park.[LNB]'Why have I handed over my medal? It just seemed a good thing to do,' he said.[LNB]'The medal is in a drawer somewhere in the house. The Everton Collection is the largest collection in England and if I can be part of that, it's a way of me being part of the history of the club.[LNB]'It's been too long now since we've won anything, so I have something to give them.[LNB]'If I can do that and it helps the fans in a small way that's great.[LNB]'It was one of the highlights of my career by far and I just thought it was a good idea.[LNB]'I sometimes look back on those days and I sometimes watch the videos and I really miss them, but this will remind fans now of our last trophy success.'
