Er ... actually that was 7 on the trot in League Division One [the proper PL]. Started with a very happy xmas 3-0 against Manure on 26/12/89 and finished with a 2-0 at Spuds on 21/02/90 ..... However, although it was 7 on the spin the league, it was interspersed with a draw in the FAC to Blackburn and 2 defeats to Boro in the all important Zenith Cup. Still ... no denying 7 in the proper league.
Of course going back a little we have the 7 wins on the trot in the Championship year 80-81, starting with a 2-0 win at home to 'Pool on 10/01/81.
Finally .. in my time, there were the magnificent unbelievable 8 wins on the trot, all in the old second division in 1974/75 ...... won the the last 8 league games to get promoted. I was at every single one of those games and it was just so incredibly brilliant. I will never ever forget it, only a 0-1 defeat at Orient prevented an 11 win sequence. Those games at Millwall, Blackpool, Sheff Wed & Norwich were just high octane, stupendous, momentous and on one occasion life threatening.
