Everton fans are celebrating the return of the Dogs of War, after two battling displays – and three points against Chelsea - triggered memories of the great escape from relegation in the mid-nineties.
Under Joe Royle in 1994-95, the phrase became Everton's battle-cry and their fighting spirit saw them secure their top-flight status with five days of the season remaining, following a 1-0 win at Ipswich.
For many supporters, that attitude has been missing this season, first under manager Rafael Benitez and even with Frank Lampard at the helm.
