Catterick was the key to the “ modern” Everton being established as a top class club, and that 69/70 team he created played some of the most beautiful football I’ve seen from an Everton team. The 70/71 season was such a contrast and he struggled to get us playing that way again, then losing Ball and his ill health meant we never dominated the 70s as we once thought we would.
….created two title winning teams, he’ll always be one of ours.
Just rereading his autobiography - where he forecast Youth players in a good training complex was the future of good attacking football - cough where our - youngsters Dyche ?
I see Wally Fielding was born on the same day & year as Mr Catterick
Dario Terracotta
Player Valuation: £70m
We basically challenged for honours for a decade under the Catt,he certainly had his faults,mainly not “kicking on” to greater success,but for me,controversial one here,I’d pitch him just above Howie,taking into account the excellent sides Harry was up against in that era,the two Manchester clubs,that lot,Spurs,Arsenal,Chelsea,Leeds etc we certainly were always in and around it for pretty much all that swinging sixties era
Harry had a better league & cup record in the sixties than Shankly busby & Nicholson
But he is never mentioned when they talk about that era
