CATTERICK –‘THE BEST MANAGER IN BRITAIN’ {Shame they gave it to Don Revié in 1970 for coming 2nd } even Bill Shankly put a complaint in ...}
"Without doubt the best manager in Britain" . . . That is how Everton chairman Jack Sharp describes Harry Catterick, in his annual report to the shareholders, to-day. In referring to the club's championship success. Mr. Sharp states: “The master-planner was Mr. Catterick. He produced reserves to keep us narrowly in the lead, when we lost three of our key players in Howard Kendall, Colin Harvey and Alan Ball. "Towards the end of the season, with all our key players back, we won the championship handsomely, not as some sports writers implied by our chief challengers opting out, but by sheer ability and determination. It was a great compliment to Mr. Catterick's ability in finding placers and training them in the Everton style."

We had Sir John as our Chairman, followed by Jack Sharp and Sir Philip Carter, is it any wonder why we were successful during these times.
Then along come Johnson, Kenwright & Moshiri and the cancer has taken hold.

April 1961. Harry Catterick leaves Hillsborough for the last time as manager (in a comic moment, watched by the assembled press, he had to pop back in for something that he’d forgotten lol - but found himself locked out). Next stop, Goodison Park -
