I think I had started to come to my senses just before 1970. In the previous season 69 / 70 we had beaten Manure just into the New Year and did well in the Europa Cup getting to the quarter finals. What did it for me was the eventual defeat of Manure in the FA Cup in the following season after a couple of replays as well as getting to the semi-finals of the Europa cup before getting knocked out by Celtic. By the time of the FA Cup final against Chelsea came I was love struck. I cried when we lost in the replay. Come hell or high water I have never wavered or strayed. Even in these dark times it is never going to change for me.
It was indeed a period of enormous pride, hope and adventure. We deserved a lot more than we actually got but perhaps I should have known that the heartache would go with the territory?
I live in hope and keep taking the tablets
