Burnley and QPR set the pace now as they did 41 years ago! Christ, I suddenly feel so old. I remember that season almost like it was yesterday. Be nice if we go up together again... [video=youtube;RV21XoGDXGg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV21XoGDXGg[/video]
Nice one Sooper. Burnley were very good that year to be champions ahead of us. That was the biggest home game of the season I was tense as anything.
They were such a good side and the following season they made a cracking start in the top division, yet barely a decade later they had to win their last game of the season in Division Four to stay in the league...
There is a reason for that mate.... Great old clips Soops, more of the same from the team next weekend please.

Anyway here's another memory of games against Burnley....can't imagine the same scoreline this week!!!!
That boy Leech - what a legend, what a man!! Rest in peace my friend rest in peace - You'll Never be forgotten
Here's the game where Malcolm MacDonald scored all five against Cyprus. Thomas was a second half sub and he provided the crosses for the last two goals... [video=youtube;8KOYSdtGYMQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KOYSdtGYMQ[/video]
The 2nd one was the best.......great one-two and pin-point cross! Also, is it me, or was the crowd at Wembley so much louder in those days?!!
Yes, you had the two huge terraces at either end and a standing crowd always seems to generate more noise...
