CATTERICK –‘THE BEST MANAGER IN BRITAIN’
"Without doubt the best manager in Britain" . . . that is how Everton chairman Jack Sharp describes Harry Catterick, in his annual report to the shareholders to-day. In referring to the club's championship success. Mr. Sharp states: “The master-planner was Mr. Catterick. He produced reserves to keep us narrowly in the lead, when we lost three of our key players in Howard Kendall, Colin Harvey and Alan Ball. "Towards the end of the season, with all our key players back, we won the championship handsomely, not as some sports writers implied by our chief challengers opting out, but by sheer ability and determination. It was a great compliment to Mr. Catterick's ability in finding placers and training them in the Everton style."

This game was nearly postponed due to a flooded pitch. My favourite memory was Referee Kirkpatrick playing football with his linesmen as part of the pre match pitch inspection. He netted the ball and turned to the crowd and punched the air.

The fixture had been "haunted". I had travelled to London earlier in the year and reached White Hart Lane only for the match to be "snowed off", then the following re-arranged fixture was abandoned because of floodlight failure!
