Funny article in the Graun today Damo about a guy who wrote to Howard Kendall in 1982 saying they were worst everton side he's ever seen and ratcliffe was the shittest player ever at Goodison! He offered his services and Kendall wrote back to him offering him a trial, the offer was duly taken up, the guy disgraced himself. Kendall afterwards offered him away tickets at arsenal (season ticket holder), then took him to dinner and when he was walking away said something like: see, we do try our best. Everton then embarked on probably the most successful period in the club's history...
