Former Everton defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Weir-c10632 in nurturing the young talent at the club, and was delighted to have him in the coaching staff.
Weir, who represented Everton in 235 games, returned to Goodison Park in February 2012, as a member of the coaching staff with Everton’s academy alongside his former team-mates Stubbs and Duncan Ferguson.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 harnessing the talent of the young lads.
The 42-year old, who played as a centre-back, joined http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes. He also played Champions League football
with Everton and Glasgow http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314.
He parted ways with the Merseyside outfit in January 2007.
Stubbs told the club’s official website, “It's been fantastic. That [experience] is something we can't buy.”
“Sometimes they need someone to hold their hand and Davie provided that at times for them.”
Everton secured the third place in the Barclays Premier Reserve League in the 2011/12 campaign, 14 points behind the eventual champions Manchester United.
And despite being neck and neck with their local rivals http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 in the entire season, who grabbed the second spot on the virtue of a better goal difference, Stubbs expressed his disappointment of not being able to finish the season ahead of the Reds.
He also felt that the Toffees dropped points rather cheaply at times, but was glad to see the young lads do well in the absence of some key players.
The Everton legend then praised their phenomenal performance in the second half of the season, which saw them suffer just a single defeat in their last 15 league games.
“From around Christmas time to when we finished, they did fantastic to be fair and all credit goes to the players. We set them a couple of challenges and they all responded in the way I would have expected them to. It was a really good and encouraging end
for them.”
