What a team we had then. It was almost unbelievable for us older fans who had waited a lifetime to see us reach those dizzy heights. We didn't make it in the end but it just goes to show it can be done. If we'd started the season better, for one thing, it would have been different. We only got two wins in the opening thirteen games. In the end, the table shows us how well we did.

At the time I was 15 and my memories are that I never really believed we could do it.

 

Looking at that, I dont think I appreciated how close we were. IN the playoff places with 3 games left?!

 

Such a shame we had 3 really tough fixtures. I think the wolves one was the most disappointing. They had nothing to.play for and I remember it as we just didnt show.

 

What a team we had.
