Should we always refer to that era as the Taylor/Clough years?

I pity todays schoolkids who now only have today's moneyball to watch.

Agreed, the feeling of those days is never coming back, although as I've said before, one day someone will market '70s Football' to the masses, with its mudbath pitches, bloodbath games and no pundits on the aftershow.

It was like one big roller coaster ride and you dare'nt blink in case you missed something!! And yet the previous generation were even luckier!! My Father-in-law went to Wembley to watch us win the Cup and then lived to see 2 Championships!! Got the full bag in one lifetime, not bad!!

I was a wee bit too young to fully understand the scope of winning the League and European Cups, but at least I was from that era and with age, began to understand what I did not earlier.
