Coach Howard Kendall's team secured another title in the 1984/85 European Cup Winners' Cup when Everton beat Rapid Vienna 3-1 in the final in Rotterdam . In addition, the team reached the final of the FA Cup 1984/85 , but lost it 0-1 against Manchester United . Due to numerous misconduct by English hooligans, which culminated in the Heysel disaster , all English clubs were excluded from the European Cup from the 85/86 season. Everton therefore missed participation in the European Cup . But the club won after the runner-up in 85/86 behind Liverpool and another final defeat in the FA Cup 1985/86 , in the Football League First Division 1986/87 sovereign the championship title.

The following season was disappointing in the league with tenth place, but Pat Van Den Hauwe won the FA Cup for the first time in his fourth appearance in the final in 1990/91 . In the final, the team led by England internationals Gary Lineker and Paul Gascoigne beat Nottingham Forest 2-1 after extra time. In the 1991/92 European Cup Winners' Cup , Tottenham failed in the quarter-finals against the Dutch cup winner Feyenoord Rotterdam .

Millwall FC

In 1993 he switched to the English second division club Millwall , with whom he only missed promotion to the Premier League in the 93/94 season through a play-off loss to Derby County .
