He was a grafter, but more like one of those with a clipboard. Always looked busy, but did nothing.

I always remember that interview he did where he was asked his name and he said, "My name is Li Tie (Lee Tye) but in England it is Li Tie (Lee Teeuh)", which was yet another reminder of how stupid English people are at trying to say foreign names. Oh look it's a Chinese name with the exact same spelling as one of the words in our language, let's try and pronounce it in FRENCH.

It was.

Prior to Heysel we always knew that, though they were in the ascendancy from the mid seventies through the mid eighties, we would turn things round.

And we had by 1985, when Everton's time had come.

Then Heysel happened and Everton, along with United and others, found thenselves banned from Europe through no fault of their own.

There was a daft midweek competition set up for the clubs banned from Europe called the Screen Sport Cup (Screen Sport was a satellite sports channel, a forerunner of Sky and BSB).

It featured Everton, Liverpool, United and Norwich City, who had won the Milk or Rumbelows or Littlewoods or whatever Cup that year.

We played Liverpool in the two legged "semi final" and they started taunting us about not playing in the European Cup.

(that Steaua Bucharaet banner is part of the same Kopite mindset)

Anyway, we started chanting "Murderers, murderers" at them and from that day on I detected a nastiness creeping in on derby day.

Just my own opinion, of course.

it was actually the final that we played the r/s in, and it was held the following season.

before a game in the group against norwich, kendall sent the team out with the following team talk... "What a waste of time this is - out you go."
