Never ever gets old watching that back!

I do like that clip, not just for us scoring such an immensely important goal, but also for seeing Heaton's face afterwards!

 

[Sincilbanks]

Very shrewd signing from Danny and Nicky, coupled with Sam Habergham our defence suddenly and instantly looked miles better

Sean scoring the winning goal at FGR was also a major turning point in that season and a game well worth watching again.

The two centre-halves contributed an amazing 15 goals that season (Raggett 8, Waterfall 7), and not a penalty in sight. I haven't checked, but that must be the highest scoring central defensive partnership in one season in the club's history.

Top man.

Yes, he also gave our friend Mr Cooper his most sour face ever.

That really is amazing going. I'd be surprised if we've ever done better between the centre-backs. Obviously we're going in a different direction now but it would be helpful to have central defenders chipping in with a few goals again next season.

Waterfall was a defender that not many rated at all until Danny and Nicky took over iirc..

He headed it and kicked it, he was everything I want in a centre-back!

Yep, I think that's right. Mostly sat on the bench and behind McCombe, Howe and Bush (!) if I remember correctly.

Don't forget his magic hat!

One of my 3 fridge magnets.. Raggs, Rheady and Arry (Anderson)...

KA's first playoff season must be up there too...I think Futcher got double figures.

Well, in 1974/75 Sam Ellis and Terry Cooper scored 18 goals between them - but 15 of those were from Ellis and included 10 penalties.

Waterfall was a different player under the Cowleys, total transformation.

Just been told he has signed for Pompey on a two year deal.

Had a shaky start at Pompey on loan, but improved enough during the season to earn a deal. Good luck to him.

 

[Davidimp]

Think he jumped up the leagues too quickly when he went to Norwich, hopefully his career will kick on again now, good luck to him.
