I loved my Ford Readers Wives coupe.Some pervs on BM....not me of course.
No Hamster thing back then.....whatever that is.............
The 70's were my formative years as a blue and absolutely loved it. I only started going away in 1978 aged 14 and then only locally. I wasn't overly worried about the near misses at the time simply because I was sure more trophies were around the corner.......little did we know the corner would come 35 years later.Yes looking at it like that you're probably right although I remember a lot of heartache too. We won the ECWC and League cup right at the start of the decade, 1970. Aside from the League cup win in 1976 the rest were heroic failures. I don't look back and think, "We almost won that" I just remember the pain I felt when we didn't. We should have won the title in 1972 I think it was when we petered out from Easter and runners up to the dippers was tough to take, we were the best team that year. We lost the 1974 League cup final to Wolves thanks to a certain Gary Pierce when we had Bell, Lee, Summerbee,Marsh and Law in our side, again hard to take. At least looking back we were competing though and did win three trophies and given what was to come for 35 years yes we weren't as shit as I made out.
That's the one pal.
Hamrick ByranThat's the one pal.
I don't remember the guys name(it was in the book) but fortunately he wasn't seriously injured.
Nice one pal. Thanks for that.Hamrick Byran
Of course, that and the Green End were my locals. We only congregated at the Albion on match days.The Albion was a bit downmarket mate, far better class of hoolies in The Farmers ;)
remember another derby seeing a rag come into the kippax with a scarf on,iv never ever seen anyone beat up as much in my life,god knows why he came in our end,i was about 10 years old,1975,it sickened me,i still think what happened to him
