Everton manager Howard Kendall and the rest of the team rejoice at the final whistle against Coventry City in 1998
I know how Sean Dyche's players will get through Sunday's game against Bournemouth, as I was in the same position against Coventry City about 25 years ago, but when the rest of my teammates return dressing room after the game, I was pinned to the wall!
I fell after a hard hit on the family compound and left a hole in my leg behind a nail in my kneecap. Andy Williams immediately waved me to leave but when I pushed him away he slapped me in the face.
With tears in my eyes, I walked down the steps leading to the tunnel and Howard Kendall asked me what was going on. In a rather rude way, I let him know that the fitness doctor wouldn't allow me to compete.
The coach asked me if I wanted to. I said yes and then Howard said to me:
"Well, go back to the yard, boy."
Then there was a wave of relief across the field, but it was no celebration. At that time, I was thrown against the wall by the club doctor because he thought I should have left the pitch because my knee had a hole and we had a big disagreement.
I went against the doctor's advice because I didn't want to leave the pitch, I wanted to give everything to help us get the results we needed to keep us in the Premier League. For the last 10 minutes, according to the doctor, I was moving half a meter too slowly and he thought I might have put the cane in danger, but I disagreed and we argued in the infirmary first. when I leave the floor. on crutches and with a pill bottle.
I remember before the game Howard would drop us off at a hotel to make sure we got a good night's sleep and good food, and also took us out of town to make a difference and an occasion. . When we got to Goodison Park we could see lines of fans waiting for us and as a local boy, I know what that means to everyone.
It really doesn't matter, because at the end of the day, you have a job to do. You have to win your battles and expect your teammates to do the same.
You need a little luck here and there and luckily we got it. We missed a penalty and the atmosphere turned gloomy late in the game when Dion Dublin equalized. Usually the boys used to play tunes, but I remember before the game it was pretty quiet. I used to be pretty calm and focused on myself before games and make sure I did everything that needed to be done.
You want your teammates to show up to receive the ball, helping each other as teammates rather than hiding. As a left-back I would look and want Don Hutchison or whoever to take the ball and give me options because there is nothing worse than a right-back following and no one wants that because you are the one. error may be made.
