In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the intensity of the FA Cup's magical third round is encapsulated as Howard Kendall, both as a player and manager of Everton Football Club, stands proudly on the hallowed turf of Upton Park. The image, captured by the renowned PA photographers, perfectly represents the rich history and tradition of the world's oldest domestic football competition. The year was 1985, and Kendall, who had previously led Everton to FA Cup glory as a player in 1966, was now at the helm as manager. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling Upton Park, with Everton's blue-and-white colours contrasting sharply against the green grass and the dark, moody sky. Kendall, wearing a smart suit and tie, exudes a sense of calm determination, his gaze fixed on the horizon as he surveys the ground, no doubt contemplating the challenges that lay ahead in this FA Cup tie against West Ham United. To his left, a group of Everton players huddle together, their expressions a mix of focus and anticipation. The team, which included the likes of Neville Southall, Gary Stevens, and Trevor Steven, were a formidable force in English football at the time, having finished third in the league the previous season. Their confidence was palpable, and Kendall's leadership had been instrumental in their success. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the passion and pride that comes with the FA Cup, a competition that has the power to bring together players, managers, and fans in a shared moment of history. And for Howard Kendall, this moment at Upton Park was one that he would never forget, as he led Everton to a 2-1 victory and another step closer to FA Cup glory.
