Dave Booth at left back , Brian Arblaster in goal and Spud Murphy .

I can remember us getting relegated in 1972 under McSeveney because my old man was livid almost every home game although I probably hadn't grasped the enormity of relegation to the 4th tier .

The rest of the 70's until Clarkey came were hmm character building to say the least looking back , then again as a school kid I didn't have anything to compare it with , we'd always been shyte anyway .

Mansfield and Chesterfield were clubs we looked up and seemed bigger than us .

This club's a lot to thank Allan Clarke for , he made us feel like we were summat special and way above where we resided and we responded in kind .



You sort of expected a goal when Winnie went forward especially for corners
