...thought that might be Alan Gowling, so early 70s.
(edit- Manchester United 0 Everton 0. 8th March 1972 is most likely @paultheblue).

John Carey sacked in a Taxi as Manager of Everton -
Following two low seasons, Carey's leadership saw Everton reach their highest league position since the war in the 1960/61 season, finishing fifth.
However, with the increased financial backing of Moores, and the removal of the maximum players' wage, football was starting to become big business.
In a new era of market forces, anything less than first place was sure to be seen as failure.
His success was not enough for the growing demands of the Everton board and the club supporters. As a result, rumours of Carey's impending dismissal were rife.
Despite leading Everton to fifth place in the 1960–61 season, their highest post-war position, he was sacked in the back of a taxi by director John Moores.
As a result, the jibe, 'Taxi for ...!' has become a staple insult offered to any manager facing the threat of the sack.
