Octopus of Odstock 2,203 Posted March 8, 2022 Gordon Lee laid the foundations for Everton's success in the 1980's for it was he who bought or debuted Ratcliffe, Sharp and Kevin Richardson. Howard Kendall turned them into champions, but at least he had the framework in place to work from. Not like last night's mess 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His wife died from some botched cosmetic surgery and it hit him hard. He was declared bankrupt about a decade ago too IIRC. Appeared a few times for a Blackburn Sunday League outfit a few years ago, though, after he'd turned 50, so still in OK shape but miss his mane of blonde hair. Beloved at Rovers, but it was still beautiful watching Gazza put him on his arse in Euro 96.
