In 1985, The Toffees also won the Cup Winners’ Cup.
Mountfield, who played once for England B but never earned a senior cap, also had spells at Tranmere, Aston Villa, Wolves, Carlisle, Northampton, Walsall and Scarborough.
He hung up his boots in 1999 and had a brief managerial career with Scarborough and Cork City – who he departed in 2001.
