I don't think that 'long ball/direct' label is accepted by slightly older fans who saw the top flight years under Wilko and Jimmy

That's the goal I was referring to. I'm too young to have seen it live - I only started watching Notts in 1989 - but thanks to it being on TV it has become part of Notts County folklore, and it's certainly a footballing purist's goal.

Yeah, and not a one-off. That was our style then thru the promotion season til Larry Lloyd showed up three years after it started

I was 13 when Lloyd was appointed when my knowledge of football barely extended beyond which clubs had which kit manufacturer and who looked cool as a Panini sticker, but even I knew then it was a stupid appointment. I still don't get the thinking behind it, did they think him and O'Neill might have persuaded a few floaters over? I was reading a report about his last match in charge (v Birmingham) and apparently during the game he confronted and was all set to jump in to the crowd in the main stand to smack a lad who said something about his kids. Being on County Road, I have no recollection of this.

If that's true then it's just as well the next piece of blocking was, exit Stage Door [left] pursued by a bear.

It was, no question.

Shockingly, he'll be the proud owner of the record of being the manager who's reached the highest league table mark in our history - top of the whole shebang, thanks to Trevor Christie's hat-trick at Leicester.
