FORMER Everton player Colin Harvey made a special guest appearance to help Ormskirk Scouts raise funds for new camping equipment in 1986.
The former midfield star of the 1960s turned up at the 9th Ormskirk Scouts HQ to draw the winning raffle ticket for an autographed football donated by the Goodison club.
Harvey, who still lives in West Lancashire, was often described as an elegant and skilful player and was nicknamed the “White Pele” by Everton fans.
At 18, he made his debut in 1963 against Italian giants Inter Milan in a European Cup tie in the chaotic San Siro Stadium. Harvey was appointed manager of Everton in 1987, following the departure of Howard Kendall.
Although now retired, in 2003, he was granted a testimonial against Italian side Bologna FC recognising his remarkable achievement of playing, coaching and managing at every level within the club during 40 years of almost continuous service to Everton Football Club.
