Today Everton remembers a man whose achievements with the Club stand unrivalled, a giant truly befitting of the title ‘legend’.
The most successful manager in the Club’s history, Howard Kendall was also one of the esteemed triumvirate of players immortalised forever as the Holy Trinity – Kendall, Harvey, Ball.
He won the league championship as a player in 1969/70, as a manager in 1984/85 and 1986/87 and masterminded the most celebrated moment in the history of the Club when Everton defeated Rapid Vienna in the European Cup Winners’ Cup final in 1985 having put together a team that was in the words of Hans Krankl, the Rapid Vienna striker, “possibly the best side in the whole of Europe”.
