Howard Kendall RIP

On forsaking Maine Road for Goodison Park seven years ago, Howard Kendall reasoned that "with Manchester City it was a love affair, whereas with this club it's a marriage". Confirming their status as the Richard Burton and Liz Taylor of football, Kendall and Everton duly tied the knot again yesterday.

They have now got hitched on four occasions - the first as a fresh-faced wing-half arriving from Preston in 1967, the last three as manager - but the prospect of carrying Everton over the threshold once more has not diminshed Kendall's Zsa Zsa Gabor-like appetite for footballing nuptials.

According to Peter Johnson, his new chairman, when he asked what salary it would take to prise him from Sheffield United, Kendall replied: "All I want is to manage Everton."
