Sad that, good manager.

[RafaShanks]

Damn. Sad news.

[Benzo-13]

Sad news.. RIP.

[pipnasty]

Yeah, sad that.

 

Brings back many memories of that ferocious rivalry we had with them during the 80's. They were good, very good - although not quite as good as us, like.

[Bogman]

Bugger that.

 

RIP. Sad news that.

[kop205]

Yeah, sad, 69 isn't really that old.

 

Very much intertwined with memories of growing up for me - all-Merseyside Cup Finals, battling it out for the League with them.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

69 s***? Did he latterly have a problem with booze?

 

 

RIP

He looked well at the derby the other week. May he RIP.

69 s***? Did he latterly have a problem with booze?

 

 

RIP

 

Apparently not just latterly.

 

Had been a bit of an open secret fr more than 20 years.

 

Sad.

RIP Mr. Kendall.

Sad.

there was all sorts of gossip going round these parts during his stint at Notts County.

[Chewie]

Very sad. In the 80s Merseyside was the footballing capital of the world and he was a major part in that .

[Murphman]

When I was a young kid I watched him play in the cup final for Preston aged just 17, he was a really good player and a great manager too. RIP.

RIP

[Billy Dane]

Sad news, 69 no age these days. Great memories of the rivalry in the 80's when Merseyside ruled football. RIP

[dorgie]

RIP Howard Kendall.

All the tributes being paid to him seem to unite in that he was a genuinely funny fella to be in the company of.

[JRC]

RIP Howard Kendall. Helped make Merseyside the UK Capital of Football.

 

** Pete Wylie has just RTd a picture of an U-13 Football team featuring Howard Kendall - and Bryan Ferry. Genuinely wierded me out, that.

 

There was a nice anecdote from someone on Saturday, how, as a young journo, he had got very drunk in Kendall's company one time and been emboldened to take on a bet he couldn't really afford. He lost, and paid up, but Kendall never cashed the cheque.
