Happy birthday Ron! He gave us stars and exciting attacking football, a league cup and 2nd place premier league, the equal highest (with Keegan) ever achieved by an English manager. Then he was sacked... explain. Thanks Doug.
Isn't it shocking that the 1994 League Cup win was our last truly great moment. All the Yanited glory hunting fans had well and truly crawled out of the woodwork by then. According to them, we were only there to make up the numbers s the lot of them.
25 years...........
The win in 1996 was never in doubt.
Pedant JP Healy here last league cup title was1996 versus mighty LeedsGood days. Think Deadly thought he was being upstaged. We were struggling a bit at the time but reckon we'd have pulled through. Thankfully, under Sir Brian we did.
Nice that our last League Cup and Last FA Cup were against United.
Correct JP. The 94 final was United. Remember coming out of the ground all singing where s your treble gone to the tune of chirpy chirpy cheep cheep.Pedant JP Healy here last league cup title was1996 versus mighty Leeds
That song was turned into a football chant by the Holte Enders of the day......
Those were the days my friend,
we took the Stretford End,
We'd sing and fight forever and a day,
We'd fight and never lose,
We'd take the end we chose,
For we were young and sure to have our way.....
La la la la....

Slightly embarrassing for a gentleman my age but I remember it well TH, although the version in my memory is slightly different.
Those were the days my friend,
we took the Stretford End,
we took the Kop, the North Bank Highbury.
We'd take end we'd chose,
we'd fight and never lose,
those were the days, oh yes those were the days.
La la la la
Not gonna fight you over it though...
Sure there was a version of this as well.
