All things Howard

I watched that video a week or so ago and I don't know if it's because something's going on out on the pitch, but that look out in to Goodison at 11:17 got me the first time I watched it...it's like seeing 40+ years of memories come flooding back to a person in 3 seconds.

Just finished his book - highly recommend it, very honest and clears up some of the 1997 fiasco

VERY interesting that a Liverpool executive suggested and facilitated the move to Spain in 87. Not the only thing but that's the biggest revelation to me

I think we should have HK as the official guest of honour at one of our home games this season. Have him on the pitch at half time and all that. The home game against Utd would be good. Give him a reception better than what Moyes was given last season (which was very good), get the fans chanting his name, that Bobby's name and then telling Moyes to fck off back up the M62

he came on at half time at a game last season, and he staggered on and off the pitch, well slozzled. ive heard hes give up the drink now??

who...

Anyone see HK play for us second time round? He was appointed player-manager - I saw him come on for us at Goodison for one of his early games 81/82 but I was just a kid and my memory is hazy. Have a single image of him playing a big cross-field pass and my Dad turning to me and saying that's a class footballer there son

I remember the very pass, he was about 36 at the time, and was head and shoulders above every player on the pitch as regards quality. I wish I could remember the opposition.

Legend, good to have a thread about him, gave me some of my best memories.

 

[ijjysmith]

who...

Unbeleiveable.

Even as a joke post.

 

[ijjysmith]

Dion Dublin.

Would he have been any good for us?

Actually think he would have been.

Anyoen read his book yet? Surely worth a read?

I've not actually.

*adds to Chrimbo list.

Great shout. I really want to read this.

 

[bluejock]

This thread smells of gin.

Fox rates him as the best Everton player of all time, that's endorsement enough for me.

Its a great video this. Where is this exerted from? I was thinking the official history video? I have that video somewhere but it's been a a long time since I've watched it. I don't think it even covers the 90's.

Guess who's back ?
Back again
Mick is back
Once again









Hello mick..... Stick around for a while.






HK. Was an absolute boss ....

 

[Black Belt Jones]

Any insight into why he left for Bilbao in the book? Just seems bizarre in hindsight - ok the European ban was weighing heavy but it wasn't a step forward to leave Everton for the Basque country. Not even a step sideways.

I always wondered why Graham Taylor replaced Bobby Robson and not HK.
