The Club gets you, and if you get the Club – then it’s so big.Moyes will hope he can win silverware with Everton for the first time in 31 yearsAFPHe added: “Nothing really took me by surprise [when joining Everton]. I was well versed in football, in watching football so I knew exactly what I was coming to.“But probably the big thing which struck me was when I was driving in, and I’ve told this story before, but it’s absolutely true.“I was coming in on a nice Spring evening. I can remember it was quite bright and looking out the windows all I could see was Everton strips everywhere. “That was my over-riding memory. I was relatively young and inexperienced in some ways, but I’d been around the leagues and I just remember thinking, ‘My goodness, everybody in the streets in Liverpool are Everton supporters.’“That was where I came up with ‘the People’s Club’ line. I think in a way that might have helped me be accepted. A lot of people said, ‘Ah, you must have thought that up beforehand’ but I didn’t. It was genuinely just driving in when I thought it.”Catterick (on the right) led Everton in six unsuccessful European campaignsCan Moyes live up to Catterick’s legacy?While the pair have the same amount of managerial appearances, Catterick won a lot more trophies with the Toffees.The former Everton player took over from Johnny Carey in April 1961 and was in charge for twelve years.He won the majority of domestic trophies including two first division league titles, the FA Cup and two Charity Shield titles.During the 1960s, Everton enjoyed a golden era and had a plethora of quality players in his side including legendary future manager Howard Kendall, Colin Harvey, and Alan Ball.Moyes will hope to get Everton back to the the glory days of Catterick and achieve a trophy with the side he has spent the longest with.
