Thanks You tube. This is impossible to buy on DVD. Brilliant story.
we came 4th in the league that season who knows we could have won it if he had stopped. That was a tremendous Wolves team the one I grew up with great memories. Tremendous player was at his last game too and went on the picture at the end.
I've been there 3 or 4 times with Yeovil last season and they drew 1.1 with us Also they beat Yeovil 2.1 at Huish Park! Good video mate!
Trebill co looks white to me but what do I know? 🤷
We are a welcoming club to fans of other clubs . The club do have plans to upgrade the ground in the future . More often than not , it’s a pleasant day out @ the Grove . I was at that game , as I’m an STH . And I thought we were unlucky on the day . Defensive lapses cost us . We are defo geared towards a higher level & hopefully we’ll achieve it next season . We certainly have made some very good signings in close season ( a couple of very good players from Redditch included . So hopeful of next season .
I was a Vancouver Whitecaps season ticket holder in 1979. The year the WON!!! vs NY Cosmos. The village of Vancouver was proud.
Excellent content and presentation. Thanks for your effort.
Thank you!
God your facts are totally incorrect!! John Radford exchanged passes with George for the Wembley goal!! Eddie Kelly scored the equaliser!! Utter rubbish
Argentina were WORTHY winners because THEY WERE THE BEST TEAM,PERIOD.
You might have researched your pronunciation of Scottish names before posting this.
A very good ground to go to . One I’m hoping to go to again with my team Halesowen Town . As we are both in the same league . The prices are standard for that level . But enjoy going to the valley stadium . Good video too .
Interesting story. I don't think there are too many Irish managers now that manage big clubs like Barcelona.
That is dedication to your craft. What a great coach he must have been to play under. Thanks for telling his story Finners.
Risked his life for the club, deserves huge respect
HE was a guest player for Hellenic football club in south Africa..HE IS definitely one of the greatest of ALL time..I was a goalkeeper and tried to be as good as Tony lupton and Gordon Banks..Jingles Pereira broke Gordon's finger in a tackle when he dived for jingles feet..I was know for diving at strikers feet to take the ball away..It's a very dangerous dive for you can be injured...I was kicked very badly in my face and was unconscious in one match, I regained consciousness and had a great game not even knowing where I was or what my name was at that stage..
Amadou Carrizo sir was a fantastic player and he was the real sweeper keeper to be inspiring the other respective goalkeepers to be who they are now!!!He is a River Plate(one of my favourite respective footballing clubs) legend and his legacy ever lives,good friends!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The legendary Irish player and manager Patrick O'Conell sir was a good player and fantastic saviour,mainly as a manager at both Real Betis where he won a league title in the 1934/1935 season and saved Barcelona from being extinct and his contributions with the other respective footballing clubs which he played and managed,good friends!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Cheers pal, glad that Betis gave him the credit he deserves with the bust
Took a while to catch on in England. Tommy Lawrence used to do it in training for Liverpool, and Shanks told him to do it at Anfield. The Kop nearly had kittens, but it worked, and let Liverpool develop that high line of defence that so strangles the oppositions and pens them in their own half.
Fabergas didnt go from arsenal to chelsea, know what ur saying
Nice documentary
I'm a Southampton fan and Ted Drake is still regarded as a club legend.
West, Wright, Wilson Kendal Labone, Harvey Husband Ball, Royal Hurst, Morrisey. The best team Carrick put on a pitch.
He is certainly Everton's second best manager. I remember doing a post about him around 2-3 month ago.
The architect of the modern goalkeeping style. Thank you for telling his story Finners.
your wrong about tony kay ,he was convinced because what he done at Sheffield Wednesday not at Everton, please get your facts right very poor researcher plus he was given MOTM Sheffield w vs Ipswich
As a 79 year old, lifelong Evertonian, who is also a keen student of the HISTORY of our great club, in my opinion, this video does little to give Harry the credit he deserves, and for the major part, is simply a "rehashing" of (ahem) "popular folklore" surrounding the man (AND has more than one factual error contained in it) I began watching this video with keen interest but found it ultimately disappointing.
Ted Drake is my great grandfather officially!
i must apologise for comment below. i got it wrong. the Dunfermiline game was year before in 1962 inter cities fairs cup. i got it wrong.
at 4:22 it says Everton went out of Europe in first round to Milan. it was 1963 and it was Dunfermilne Athletic i think?
Everton were eliminated from the "Inter-Cities Fairs Cup" (later renamed the UEFA Cup) in the first round by Dunfermline Athletic (managed by Jock Stein at the time) in October 1962. The Inter Milan tie was played a year later in 1963-64 season
They were a great skillfull team
Factually incorrect. Tony Kay was a Sheffield Wednesday player when the betting incident occurred as they were Ipswich Towns opponents, not Everton.
Accrued more top flight points in the '60s than Shankly, Nicholson, Busby or Revie or anyone else. The Catt.
A correction. Ray Wilson was not signed at the same time as Johnny Morrissey in Catterick's first season 1961 - 62. Ray arrived in the summer of 1964 the season after they came close to retaining the league title they won in 1962-63 Mick Meagan a steady left back was in the part exchange transfer that brought Ray from Huddersfield Town. I saw Ray Wilson throughout his Everton career. He was a great left back, good position sense , and ability to time his tackles. I only recall him ever being given the run a round once. This was by George Best at Goodison Park in Sept or August in 1966 when Bestie laid on two goals for Denis Law and David Herd in the second half Park End, to cancel out a Derek Temple goal and give a 2-1 win for United. Best was at his peak ! Ray was badly injured in his second game for the Blues v Notts Forest in a night game at Goodison in August 1964. He was out for a long time. Shortly after they lost the great right back Alex Parker who was club captain to injury. These events opened the way for Tommy Wright to start a few games Pat Van Den Hauwe back in the mid 80s was also a great left back, like Ray Wilson
Shouldn't have sold Bally though.
If you read anything about the history of that time, or listen to interviews with players like Brian Labone, Ball himself contributed to his being transferred.
BRILLIANT MAN> THERE WAS NO MONEY IN THOSE DAYS> AND THE PLAYERS WERE GREAT> LIVERPOOL BANK ROBBER TO THE HOLYWOOD BUTLER> AMEN
Harry Catterick was number one
Just for information, Mike Trebilcock's name is pronounced as Trebilko.
Exactly right. It's Tre-bil-ko, not Treble-cock FFS. 🙄 You'd think these people would do their research on things like this.
St domingo song 🎵!
Great manager. Also, in a time when football was more competitive, and many teams were in with a shout of winning cups.
The stories behind so many of the titles in the 60s are incredible: 1960-Burnley-First league title in nearly 40 years 1961-Tottenham win league as part of first double in 20th century 1962-Ipswich win the league in their first ever top flight season 1963-Everton's first league title for 24 years 1964-Liverpool's first league title in 17 years and first under Shankly 1965-Manchester United's first league title since Munich Air Disaster 1968-Man City's first league title in 31 years 1969-Leeds win their first ever top flight title
I would like to correct you on this 1st Harry Catterick left Sheffield Wednesday in 1961 owing to the lack of buying power to buy the players he wanted. Also, Harry Catterick did not get on with Sheffield Wednesday's General Secretary/General Manager Eric Taylor. 2nd Tony Kaye put the bet on Sheffield Wednesday v Ipswich Town in 1962, not Everton v Ipswich with David "Bronco" Lane & Peter Swan. Tony Kaye was still a Wedneday player in December 1962
Get the facts right
Spot on Sharpey!
He may have been on to something trying to keep cameras out of his training ground. Shame a legend like him does not have a statue at Goodison yet. Hope springs eternal. Keep up the great work Finners.
He wouldn't have got on with Bielsa...
A pioneer who wanted TV cameras banned?..well he got that wrong,didnt he..🤣
I did think it's strange to not want games seen by general public, considering football IS for the general public. The whole point of training is to perfect the craft without others looking
@afcfinners ...Yes,..coaching of players has come a long way since😏 ..
Catterick wanted any and EVERY little advantage Everton could get!!!! As an Evertonian, I like his thinking!!!!!!
Torino 1942-1949
Everton's legendary manager Harry Catherick was the pioneer of revitalising one of my favourite footballing clubs in the late 1960's till the early 1970's and to be challenging with the other respective legendary managers in my ancestrial nation's first division football despite being overlooked for the honoured proved that he deserves to have a statue outside of the Goodison and his legacy lives ever,good friends!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
