It was while watching Marouane Fellaini play against Liverpool that David Moyes decided he was the man for Everton.
Fellaini joined the Toffees for a club record £15million in the final hour of transfer deadline day in September 2008.
“I remember signing him from Standard Liege,” Moyes told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast. “He actually played against Liverpool and I went to watch them play and he played so well I signed him on the back of that.”
