Colin Harvey's Everton Career - 60 Years On
Last month saw the 60th anniversary of the Everton debut of a genuine Club legend!
The Blues were the reigning Champions and were paired with Italian giants Inter Milan in the preliminary round of the European Cup.
The first leg at Goodison Park ended in a goalless draw and for the return in the San Siro, manager Harry Catterick handed a first ever senior appearance to 18-year-old Colin Harvey.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
Colin went on to win the FA Cup in 1966, the League Championship in 1970 and made 388 appearances, scoring 24 goals.
After hanging up his boots, Colin turned to coaching and it was his promotion to the First Team from the reserves in 1983 that was one of the catalysts to the greatest period in the Club’s history.
In this special podcast, we look back over a magnificent Everton career with Dave Prentice and Gavin Buckland joining presenter Darren Griffiths.
With audio contributions from John Hurst, Peter Reid, Dave Watson and Danny Cadamarteri, we cover Colin’s entire Blues career as a player, youth team coach, first team coach and, of course, manager.
Why did he only ever win one international cap?
Did he actually want to be the Everton manager when Howard Kendall left in 1987?
Was he offloaded as a player too early when he still had much to offer?
Colin Harvey has been on a unique Everton journey and it is entirely appropriate that he will forever be outside Goodison Park in solid bronze alongside Howard Kendall and Alan Ball.

The Everton Heritage Society Podcast
The Everton FC Heritage Society was founded by Dr David France OBE in 2008.
Within its ranks are Evertonian authors, collectors and statisticians, and the society primarily exists to promote and preserve the heritage of Everton Football Club.
It also promotes and provides support for The Everton Collection Trust.
And, of course, they are a wonderful and regular host of St Luke’s Church on matchdays. Located next to Goodison Park, the church hall on the first floor is transformed into a treasure trove of Everton memorabilia whenever The Blues are at home.
Visitors can view the exhibitions, visit the stalls and meet members and away supporters find it just as entertaining. Indeed, followers of the opposition teams are often heard to opine, ‘I wish we had something like this at our place!’.
Two of the Heritage Society members, Brendan Connolly and Sarah Deboe, have joined Darren Griffiths for a half hour podcast that explains in much more detail precisely what the society does.
They speak about the importance of preserving the unique history of our club, how important it is to have a matchday presence so close to the stadium and the terrific task of restoring and rededicating the graves of some of the earliest Everton legends.

From Sidelines To World Cup - How Sørensen Came Back
Rupturing your ACL is one of the most challenging setbacks to overcome. On average, female footballers are up to six times more likely to suffer this injury.
While the journey to return to the field isn’t easy, it has been proven that those who do, can come back stronger.
A recent example of this is Nicoline Sørensen, who, after 14 months of gruelling rehabilitation, returned to pitch in December 2022 and is now on her way to her first-ever World Cup with Denmark.
The road to recovery was a long one. This is a story about physical and mental strength. This is the story of how 'Nico' came back.
