Howard Kendall RIP

[Big Fat Sam]

Flags at half mast on the Bullens, black armbands, minute silence impeccably observed before kick off with a montage of his best moments as player and manager on the big screens, then one hell of a performance to give him the send off he deserves.

"Politely" asked the BBC to change their background photo to the news.

The absolute whoppers.

To be fair, they must have listened.

 

[GlosBlue]

Reunited with Alan Ball and other Everton legends in the Goodison in the sky.

Gutted. In bits here.

RIP Howard. Legend.

 

[Stutheblue]

Gutted. RIP Howard.

 

[Bluechew]

Absolutely gutted about this news, brought us back to glory. Was a brilliant manager who understood what it meant to be a Blue.

RIP Howard

At least Roberto Martinez, when he arrived made the man welcome at the training ground and spent quite a few afternoons with him, the players did also. Hopefully he passed on some of his wisdom and experience to them, and we can really kick on in this season in memory of him.

Hope we do something special for him, some people may say over the top, but a re-naming of a stand really couldn't go amiss?

Totally agree.

The man is Everton. I can't think of another man who has a greater affiliation with the club than him.

As others have said I'm just so glad that Martinez brought him back in to the club, you could see how much it meant to him. I''ll always remember that image of Howard sitting in the stands in tears as we tore Arsenal apart 3-0 in the 13-14 season (I hope my memory serves me correctly). It was as if he could see something special starting.

 

[BoysInBlue]

Absolutely devastated.

One of the most important figures in the history of our football club.

Bonafide legend and should have got far more national recognition than he did.

Great manager and wonderful guy.

RIP.

2 alcohol related pictures. Are they taking the piss?

After composing meself, I can't really bring meself around to either annoying people on here, trying to make them smile, discussing anything or what have ya......

Just completely stunned. They say "The show must go on" ; but me enthusiasm's been knocked outta me. Today isn't about untied anymore. Nor will Arsenal get me motivated, I reckon......

Our mate's gone. My adolescent idol is no more.

God Rest You, Howard.

And thanks.
