1st May 1971 DEM MIGHTY BLADES beat Watford 3-0 at BDBL to clinch promotion back to the top league.That team included TC(GOD) WOODY(King of the wing) & Sir LEN(Badger)3 magnificent players.One thing for certain i was a far happier BLADE that season than i've been this season.Fantastic memories of that side.UTB
