In the 1960–61 season, the Toffees finished in 5th place, their highest post-war position but despite that, Johnny Carey was infamously sacked in the back of a taxi by director John Moores.[1] As a result, the infamous fans jibe, 'Taxi for xxxxxx!' has become a staple insult offered to any manager facing the threat of the sack. Carey was then replaced in April by Harry Catterick.
