Replacing Eric Taylor in 1958, Catterick achieved much success in his three years with Sheffield Wednesday as manager. He led to team to the Division 2 title in 1959 and reached the FA Cup semi-final the following season, losing to Blackburn Rovers. The following season Wednesday were league runners up to the Double winning Tottenham Hotspur. Catterick left just before the end of the season following an approach from Everton. He soon turned Everton's fortunes around, managing to win the league title in 62-63 and won the FA cup in 1966. Catterick led Everton to a second title, playing attacking, thrilling football in 1969-70. Unfortunately, he struggled to handle the pressure of a collapse in form the following season and had a heart attack in 1972. He held an Everton directorship for a short period before becoming Preston manager and then retiring after two years at Preston. He is well-regarded at Everton and one of their most successful managers.
