The Holy Trinity

Kendall, Harvey and Ball: It is only once in a generation that the gods of football provide the ideal formula for the beautiful game. And in the late-sixties, the followers of the royal blue faith were convinced that Goodison Park had been duly blessed with the presence of Howard Kendall, Colin Harvey and Alan Ball.

Respected as outstanding footballers in their own rights in an era of exceptional British players, the union of Kendall, Harvey & Ball represented the most stylish mid-field unit ever assembled by a British club.  Their repertoire of skills and telepathic understanding were beyond belief.

Perhaps their special chemistry was a product of good planning by the Goodison hierarchy or simply good luck.  No matter what the reason, their special blend of vision, technique, guile, courage and industry, thrilled football purists of all persuasions with breath-taking displays of the beautiful game.

Such tributes may sound like hyperbole and the three young Englishmen may sound like fantasy footballers but the fans who witnessed them in the sixties can confirm that ‘The Holy Trinity’ was indeed a revelation.
