Point 2. Even Joe Mercer and Big Mal took two years to mould a team.

And they were certainly defensive to start with. It was the FA Cup game against Leeds - April 8th 1967 - where they surprised everyone by attacking Leeds, and it set a trend that led to such success.

That's a bit mean and I didn't know she was a member of BM.

No mobile phones or internet in those days....Just two channels on TV, ITV and BBC... black and white too.

You could go to the match for two shillings and still have change for a hot Bovril and a pie.
