Aye Rod, it was 71 mate sorry. You get my drift though, most of that promotion team was in place by the season before. No doubt in my mind that Sir Trevor Hockey coming was the biggest catalyst for the change in that team, along with Billy Dearden who we signed from lowly Chester at the back end of the previous season. Trev allowed TC to play his game and Billy would always be available for the through pass. The only other newcomer was Johnny Hope who I think replaced Hodgy during that season, not at the start.

Hopey came wi David Ford in exchange for King Tudor goin to Newcastle,both Hopey and Trevor were ***** in that run in.Ya know Gentleman John's tactical talk to Trevor was dunt ya? Just you get the ball and give it to TC,tactical genius was Gentleman John.UTCB
