I remember when he was reading the book and negotiating for the screen rights with Kirk Douglas. I lived in his house for a bit when going to college. The woman that played Nurse Ratched's assistant in the movie was staying there at the time too. She's on the left in this photo: I saw your mention of Kirk Douglas and had no idea of his connection to this movie. I didn’t know he owned the rights or that he played McMurphy in the Broadway adaptation, until I searched for information on this. I would have liked to see his version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My psychology teacher was very impressed. His teaching prompted my interests and I reckon he (and in some respects that book/movie) contributed greatly to my career path. No regrets. My eyes were wide open at a very young age. Many of those early leaning experiences I believe helped me develop "coping" strategies throughout life that have enabled me to reach this point relatively "intact". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had quite a career after his spell at Watford. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Eddy Former Watford Observer sports editor Oliver Phillips described Eddy as “a lovely, admirable man”. Oli relayed a story from Eddy’s former manager at Vicarage Road: “Ken Furphy, up until then Watford’s most successful manager, had returned from the USA during a break, where he managed New York Cosmos. He could not wait to tell me an anecdote as we sat down in the Watford Observer canteen. “He told me: “We were playing this match in Texas, and Pele wins a penalty, takes it and misses. At half time, Keith Eddy, who is captain of the Cosmos, comes into the dressing room and tells Pele: ‘From now on I take the penalties’.” I had to laugh, and he laughed with me. Keith, a £1,250 Watford buy from Barrow, is taking Pele, at that time rated the greatest-ever player in football, off penalty duty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
