Colin Harvey

[Dario Terracotta]

True legend. I doubt we will see the likes again. Played for us at every level from youth upwards and went on to manage us. True gentleman too

Absolutely ?

 

[Eggs]

…..terrific player and possibly an even better coach.

Humble man, decent man, brilliant man, the type we want associated with our football club.

Colin Harvey will always be one of ours.

Before my time as a player but met him several times over the years and despite me being starstruck and in absolute awe of him every time he was always happy to stop and chat Everton wherever I bumped into him.


Gentleman
Evertonian
Legend


Happy Birthday Mr Harvey. May you enjoy many more ?

Epitomises the true ethos of what our club is all about Eggs.

 

[tsubaki]

a wonderful man

his biography is a great read as well, very honest and if the bit when he talks about how he realised his time as manager would have to end doesnt move you (and shame you if like me you thought at the time he wasnt good enough) then you have no soul

 

[Joey66]

One classy player & great coach - a certain Wayne Rooney learnt a hell of a lot from him - happy Birthday -

Makes Colin even more of a legend when I know he would consider chatting to you Tommy lad???

His only cap for England -

 

[Cameron Manning]

Yeah,Peter Storey got a good number of caps.

Ahead of ugly, Tommy Smith, but that’s for red supporters to moan about.

 

[Togger Blue]

Picked by Harry Catterick to make his debut at the San Siro against a formidable Inter Milan side in the European Cup (the eventual winners), then just 18 says it all. Fantastic footballer, lovely bloke by all accounts with no baggage like so many - Evertonian, Gentleman! Happy Birthday Colin.

I think he had a lot to do with Howard’s success as a manager when he appointed him as his coach.

 

[Bazlar]

When I was about 11 years of age I used to try and run like him with bow legs. Brilliant player too. Happy Birthday Mr Harvey ?

I think he had a lot to do with Howard’s success as a manager when he appointed him as his coach.

I also thought that day Colin was appointed changed ours and Howard's fortunes. Modern day Clough and Taylor vibes about them.

 

[AndyC]

One of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet is King Colin.
As a player he was truly gifted and yet, tough as nails.
The almost telepathic understanding he, Bally and Howie had bordered on being supernatural - the footballing world will never see a midfield trio as good as they were again.

We only became good in the 80's once Howard moved him up to first team coach. Played a massive part
