You have taken 7 years off him there. Very sad - he was one of the politicians I most admired.

As his blood was about eight parts whiskey, I think it's remarkable that he lasted as long as he did.

What a team Everton had in the 80's.

Some people in life are ****s, Kendall wasn't. That was a pretty wanky comment.

Not really. I was responding to the suggestion that he died prematurely "he was only 69". His lifestyle probably reduced his life expectancy by at least a decade. Therefore, his death really wasn't premature.
I never saw him play but I used to love Kendall when he managed Everton in the 80's. Cracking team, brilliantly managed. But I have also heard the other stories such as his spell as Notts County boss where was an embarrassment of a man. Kendall was finished before he was 50. Leicester had him on a shortlist for manager at one point - before they did their research and wisely steered clear.
It's a shame that an outstanding start in life largely finished skint and sad. But it's a familiar story in football.
