Apart from the Bury friendly the following Wednesday, there was nothing done for the 1968 Championship. Although the team did parade the trophy before the Charity Shield match against WBA at the beginning of the following season
Albert Square was rammed for the 1969 FA Cup homecoming the following day. Same thing for the 1970 League Cup but the ECWC parade was a more muted affair taking place about 4.00 pm the following afternoon. A great laugh though with many of the players, especially Francis Lee and Mike Summerbee, obviously pissed out of their heads and insisting on making "speeches" from the platform. Shades of Freddy Flintoff at the Ashes do.
Another welcome for the the defeated 1974 League Cup finalists but obviously downbeat. However, it was back to bedlam for 1976 League Cup winners. Little did we know then that would be our lot for at least 33 years.
