Everton fans have a strong affiliation to the men that lead their forward line.
From Duncan Ferguson to Wayne Rooney, Nikica Jelavic to Tim Cahill and Romelu Lukaku - though not to much the last of those recently - the Goodison faithful's relationship with their goalscorers is one that few clubs can rival.
There is one former star who, above all else, has meant more to me than any other though, and that is Kevin Campbell.
It is fitting, then, that it is now 19 years since he rocked up on Merseyside, initially on a three-month loan deal from Turkish side Trabzonspor, and was tasked with firing in the goals to prevent Everton from falling out of the Premier League at the third time of asking.
