Yes we were brilliant then. Ended up relegated.I grew up in the 60’s , we were ****ing brilliant then , alas, ended up with relegation.
Did we ever recover ?
& won nothing (except a trophy that was not really much higher regarded then than it is now)
We were also widely admired in the early to mid 70s. Ended up relegated.
& won nothing
I waited from the age of 10 to watch us win both league & cup & it came when I thought it was impossible. We also won the other one, but of course that was followed by us almost ceasing to exist & a decade of the worst misery imaginable, which took the edge of it a touch. So in the end I've seen us win everything that was feasible, & also saw us finish a season as the highest achieving English team in Europe.
As a lifetime's experience, I'll take that happily. Many a generation before me lived & died watching nothing of any note happen.
