Just come on. Man U v Town. Beatties first game. Hits the bar with a header from outside the D. Utd with Law and Best. Many highlights. Beyond me to be able to provide a link. Not going to let on the score. For those watching in black and white United are in the red. Enjoy.

The game that could almost be called the start of the Golden Era. And that kit!A thing of beauty . With the brand new badge, the gold trim looking like a military insignia. I Have asked if Planet Blue could do a replica. It was only work briefly for it seems the first couple of months! By the time Mick lifted the Texaco Up at the end of the season we had the white collar.

The Texaco Cup ? I hear them say. A competition for clubs that did not quite make European places that year. The only real thing you need to remember was we beat the Budgies 2-1 twice in a two legged final. It was grim but somebody had to watch it .....

We were 13th in 71-2, steady progress on the previous seasons narrow escape, so missed out on Europe by quite a bit! However, over that summer, a few parts of Robsons’ first jigsaw fell into place. Players matured, players settled, some players had been moved on, the Club was in a better place. While not the most valued of the cups, that, and its predecessor The Watney Cup, were still taken seriously. It set us up nicely. And as you say, who could have planned the Final! No footage ever seems to have emerged, unless Anglia have destroyed it!!

There were 4 rounds so there must have been 16 teams. I have a feeling there were some Scottish clubs, but I might be wrong.

Yes there were Scottish teams. We beat St Johnstone on the way to winning it.
Full run to the trophy
1st round vs St Johnstone (won 6-2 on aggregate; 4-2 at home, 2-0 away) 2nd round vs Wolves (won 3-1 on aggregate; 2-1 at home, 1-0 away) Semi-final vs Newcastle (won 2-1 on aggregate, 1-0 at home, 1-1 away) Final vs Norwich (won 4-2 on aggregate; 2-1 at home, 2-1 away.)
Our only season in that tournament.

They were relegated the next season, Dennis Law was with City then. Interesting to see Best wearing the 4 shirt, always associate him with the 7.
George Best was in the 7. It was Morgan wearing 4. Easy mistake to make they mostly all had long hair then. Even mine was on my shoulders. Non existant now of course.

I make you right, I thought it odd. Never got away with having my hair too long. Strict mother, ha ha.

Yesterdays episode against Spurs showed the Cobbold stand before A Block and what is now the away section had been built. No hospitality boxes either. Plus Colin Viljoen demonstrating how to beat a keeper 1 on 1.
