TAXI FOR CAREY!

Backed by the Littlewoods Pools magnate John Moores and later known as ‘The Bank of England’, Everton’s fifth-place finish is not enough to save manager Johnny Carey (above) from the sack. In mid-april, three matches before the end of the campaign, Moores informs the Toffees’ boss of his fate in the back of a London cab. Fans adopt it as the ideal mode of transport to scream at gaffers on the brink of getting the bullet.
