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.”3

Scouts had been keeping an eye on the then 20-year-old before Moyes went to Anfield to see him in action, where a 1-0 win saw Liverpool scrape into the Champions League group stage.It was part of a long term strategy at Goodison Park as Everton pondered life without long serving hero Tim Cahill, with Moyes believing the Belgium international was the ideal signing. Fellaini, now 31, later followed Moyes to Manchester United when the manager replaced Sir Alex Ferguson in the Old Trafford dugout in 2013.
