It was 30 years ago today that Howard Kendall joined Everton as player/manager from Blackburn Rovers. After a shaky start, and some well dodgy purchases in the transfer market, Howard eventually fashioned together a side that was, at its pomp, considered by many judges to be the best in Europe. They won the FA Cup in 1984, and the League Championship & European Cup-Winners Cup the next year.
The side was to be cruelly broken up after the European ban, yet Kendall still managed to win the title again before decamping to Spain.
He is also a very nice man.
And he likes a bevvy.
Cheers, Howard! Love ya.
