    Just noticed on SAFC.com..It was this day in 1972 we appointed Bob Stokoe.

    What would we give for some of his success at the club these days.......happy days

    He transformed the fortunes of the team so quickly it was really hard to comprehend..It's amazing how important confidence is to footballers, because apart from switching Dave Watson from centre forward to centre half, all he really did was give the existing players a sense of belief.
