Howard Kendall's Everton: English Football's Lost Empire

Howard Kendall transformed Everton from a struggling First Division side into champions of England and winners of the European Cup Winners' Cup. Between 1984 and 1987, Everton built one of the greatest teams in English football history, led by Neville Southall, Peter Reid, Kevin Sheedy, Graeme Sharp and Gary Lineker. This documentary explores how Kendall assembled his legendary side, the tactical ideas behind their success, the unforgettable victory over Bayern Munich, the league title triumphs of 1985 and 1987, and how the Heysel ban denied Everton the chance to compete for the European Cup at the height of their powers. From empty seats and calls for Kendall's dismissal to becoming arguably the best team in Europe, this is the complete story of Everton's forgotten dynasty.
