Finn Dossing should absolutely be held in the same breath as all the other legends and his contribution was massive.
Very well said James. And just to add that we were blessed with a superb Board of Directors at that time who set the foundations for the Club to move to the next level. As you rightly point out United didn't somehow arrive in 1979, we got decent home crowds all through the sixties, built our progress carefully and sustainably, had the vision to recruit a brilliant successor to Jerry Kerr and the rest is the history that made us the Club we are today.
