Possibly the end of John Connelleys career, a double leg break - never ever the same player after that shocking tackle - I was right in front of it - Gary Jones chinned the offender = sent off - always wondered who the substitute was who gained us that late pen as we were almost knocked out by an offside goal .... David Irving....

A good read that- and more evidence at what a terrible captain Ball was (the calming influence of Labby and Howard seemed far more preferable to the players)
Yes, The Catt slipped up not taking the captaincy off him in 1970/71 IMO.... The Catt was responsible for breaking that team up far too early though - his health was deteriorating ..... selling Bally like Collins were two major mistakes .....
