"I wanted Europe," said Kendall, whose charges – voted 1985's European team of the year – were denied the chance to enhance that reputation by the post-Heysel ban on English clubs.
"I know it was a tragedy but in purely football terms I think that Everton suffered more than anyone. We were on a high, we'd just qualified for the European Cup and we wanted to prove we were the best."

Amen, Howard. Amen.

I'm still mad as fuk .

Honest .
 

If hadn't been for the ban there would of been a good chance of winning the European Cup the next year, even if it would of been against Barcelona in Seville.

it's difficult to talk on this subject with regard to what happened in Sheffield four years later.

it still bites all these years later over what might have been, the great team was soon to be broken down and Kendall himself left for a new challenge.
 
what about the great Huddersfield side of the 1920s or the Preston invincibles even, the Chapman Arsenal side, it does cover a lot of ground.
