Dugsy 44 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Seen him come on as a sub in Colin Jackson's Testimonial match v Everton, think he was Evertons player/manager at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Surprised he's so young. He would have been a very young manager, taking over at Blackburn at 33, in his day. Was a great manager and probably achieved more for Everton than any other, although times have changed and left that club behind.RIP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigG 56 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 He had a lot of decency. When he became Everton manager, they had been in Liverpool's shadow for a long, long time. At the beginning of the 1983-84 season, a sizeable minority of Everton fans campaigned for him to be sacked and some thugs even attacked and vandalised his house. By the end of that season, those same thugs would be denying all knowledge of it and going on the march with Howard's army. He deserved his success for the dignity he showed in the face of such adversity.In the mid 1990s I was getting a train from Liverpool to Nottingham and Howard Kendall was sitting in front of me. I think he was probably going to Sheffield as he was appointed Sheff Utd manager a couple of weeks later. The train started getting full and there were no seats after it left Manchester. Howard stood up to let an old woman have his seat, something I should have done myself. He had no airs and graces about him, just a very nice and decent man.

Having said that we also benefitted from the ban, even at Everton's expense with Steven, Stevens and later McCall coming our way as an indirect result of the ban.Ironic that it was Liverpool involved, especially as Everton have never recovered their place at the top table.Easy to forget now but Everton were one of the big 5 in the 80s alongside Liverpool, United, Spurs and Arsenal.
