can remember getting stuffed at Blackpool....the cup runs caught up with us in the end.
Sorry mate,have to correct you the cup games were the following season 79/80.
We should have gone up in 79,especially after beating Watford,Gillingham and Brentford,
but the losses at Sheff Wed and Blackpool put paid to that.
Swansea were the best team in the league,Toshack was way ahead of the game tactically,
remember how they closed down our midfield at the CG.Quality players in Curtis,Robbie James,
Jeremy Charles allied to the Liverpool old boys,Tommy Smith,Callaghan and Waddle.No wonder
they went straight up the following season and even led Liverpool with 1 month to go in 82,
before falling away.Shrewsbury were the surprise team that season,even though Watford only just
made it to promotion.Match of the Day when we beat Watford 2 - 0 at the CG was good and
a classic volleyed goal from Andy Rowland.
