I'm too young to appreciate how good he was but my dad tells me often. However, his story about Gary Stanley asking for shampoo in the documentary about Howard Kendall always makes me laugh. True Blue.

Mr Everton - Happy birthday to our White Pele - He missed a trial with the other team over the park by a time mistake - thank goodness -

Had to re-read that, as I was thinking 'who's White Pete'?

Met him as a kid in the notorious Mano's Bar in Magaluf around 91/92 when the team were in preseason. Lovely fella. Didn't know what to make of Peter Beagrie dancing like a loon, so turned away. Got a pic with him, Beagrie and Cottee, when he was worth a jot.

Maybe the thread title should be changed to Happy Birthday Colin Harvey to avoid panic!

 

[Dancing Pat]

What a player! And such a big part of our 80’s success.

 

[SJB]

I played 388 games for Everton and they were 388 of the happiest and most important days of my life. You don't grow up hoping to be a coach, or assistant manager or manager. You grow up wanting to be a footballer and nothing surpassed playing in the First Team for Everton.

Phew! Thought the worst when I saw the thread.

Happy Birthday Colin.
