I was probably there in 1971 - cant recall it - the opening game v Arsenal at home 2-0 up at half time in the gladys st a blue supporter stated Arsenal had not improved pre season we went on to get got beat 3-2 by Arsenal who won the double some improvement hey- it was all downhill that season - Bally sold - The Catt lost the plot!

Actually it was 2-2. We led twice but G Graham equalised late on. Yep our league form was a cause of dismay after the excellence of the season before and then came that fateful week in spring 1971, panathanaikps knocked us out of European cup and we lost to RS at Old Trafford in FA cup semi. We never recovered from those results really and then December 1971 Ball was sold. A very speedy break up of a brilliant team.

It seemed like a defeat - 2-0 up cruising fell away in the 2nd half in a disastrous season!
