Howard Kendall was a fabulous footballer - reckoned by many within the game to be the best player never to win an England cap - but it was as Everton manager that he enjoyed his finest moments.  He is, quite simply, the greatest and most successful manager that the Club has ever had.  The 1984/85 championship was won in comfort as well as style, the European Cup Winners' Cup was brought to Goodison after a memorable run through to the final, and a unique treble was only denied the team when tiredness caught up with them in extra-time at Wembley in a second successive FA Cup final.  Kendall was, quite rightly, the Manager of the Year, but Everton suffered double disappointment the following season, finishing second to Liverpool in both the title race and the FA Cup final.  But the position of Merseyside 'top-dogs' was well and truly restored 12 months later when the title was bagged once again - the ninth championship success in the Club's history.  We make no apologies for glossing over Howard Kendall's second and third spells as manager of Everton Football Club. His first was the Best Ever, and that's all that matters.
