Howard Kendall

[blue61]

...don’t suppose you know where Marco Silva lives?

I gave him a massage last night, prepare for europe.

 

[blue61]

I wrote him a 5 page letter after we lost away at Ipswich in 1983 telling him what was wrong and what he needed to do to put it right.
He never replied but he did what I advised him to do so I reckon it was all down to me

He mentioned that letter when I shook his hand, he said he was going to make the changes anyway, but he did commend me on my warm, manly handshake.

..I thought he’d get his massages at USM FF, unless it was a certain type of massage?

Sorry, I meant message.
backtracks swiftly

Legend.

I know he had his problems during his later spells with us, and I'm sure plenty on here know what I mean by that, but what he did for this club will never be bettered.

Deserves to be up there with the best managers of all time in the English game.

A tremedous midfield player too ........

Laughed out loud when a very young Allezlesbleus and Madame Allezlesbleus asked for photos at Servette pre season tournament 1984 when we told him we were on honeymoon!!! He really did have a great way with the average fan. Bumped into him outside Goodison a couple of years before his death when he was laughing and joking with John Bailey. I just said, Howard, thanks for everything you did for Everton. He just laughed and said, "think nothing of it. The pleasure was all mine!" I think he knew though what he meant to fans of a certain generation.

Scores a great goal here.

Wow that brings back memories
Where was Sandy for their goal?
After that scissor strike from Howard me and my dad played in the back garden and my dad tried to replicate it but his shot went over the next door garden and smashed through his greenhouse
What a strike from Bally against the bar

35 years ago today, Stoke City vs Everton in the FA cup at the Victoria Ground, the game when Kendall opened the dressing room window so the players could here all the fans “That’s your team talk. Don’t let those fans down.”.

A game just as important as the turning point known as the Kevin Brock back pass at Oxford United.

RIP Howard, you absolute legend
