Harry Catterick

Harry Catterick - who would have turned 100 on 26 November - is remembered and celebrated on the Blue half of Merseyside for his stellar managerial achievements in the 1960s. His trophy haul for the Toffees has been eclipsed only by Howard Kendall.

Like Kendall, Catterick was a son of the North East but moved to Cheshire as a child when his father – also called Harry - signed for Stockport County. Catterick Senior’s association with The Hatters would span 20 years as a player, coach and manager. His son would observe at close quarters the nuts and bolts of football – and learn.

Charlie Gee, the Everton and England international centre-half, was responsible for a transfer which would define the Toffees’ future. Coached as a youngster by Catterick Senior, Gee returned the favour by tipping off his employer to the potential of the 17-year-old Cheadle Heath Nomads’ centre-forward. According to Catterick, Gee ‘painted golden pictures of life at Goodison Park’ to the family and part-time professional forms were duly signed with the teenager also continuing his apprenticeship at a marine engine factory.

Catterick would train alongside forwards of the calibre of Dixie Dean, Tommy Lawton and Robert ‘Bunny’ Bell. When asked to compare Dean and Lawton he once said: “As an overall player Lawton may have been a bit better, but when it came to heading Deany was the best.” The departure of Dean and the outbreak of war moved young Catterick up the pecking order. In wartime matches he’d amass 153 goals in 193 matches for Everton and Stockport, for whom he guested.
