60 years ago Manchester City and Everton were due to meet in the following day’s FA Cup quarter final (to be played on 26 March – more on that tomorrow). City were a Second Division team that season and were managed by former Evertonian Joe Mercer. Everton had finished the previous season fourth and had participated in the Fairs Cup during 1965-66. They were managed by Harry Catterick. Their views on their teams and opponents make interesting reading for fans of both City and Everton. Sadly, I don’t know which newspaper this is from. It’s in a scrapbook on the entire 1965-66 season I have.
