Only just learned that this record has gone...
Another Notts County record is broken. Brentford ended Friday top of the English top flight for the first time since September 1, 1946, a gap of 74 years & 346 days, the biggest ever gap for a club topping the whole league, breaking Notts County’s record (58years 251days between December 1924 and August 1983).
It's stretching things a bit though to say that a team is "top of the league" when only one game has been played!
Especially when 18 out of 20 teams hadn't played, at least ours was after a full set of fixtures and a 4 goal away win at Leicester....expunge Brentford's record!
We were still top after everybody had played two games. We'd scored more than West Ham and had a better GD than Villa And Arsenal who'd also taken 6 points from 6,. Then we came up against Ipswich who'd finished 3rd, 2nd, 2nd and 9th in the previous four seasons and we went on to set a then club record number of back to back defeats.Quote:
