uttoxram75 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Its a long time ago RamNut, won't mean anything to fans born after 1970. There will always be a tiny thought in the back of my mind what the history of DCFC and NFFC would be like now if he'd of stayed..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a club we so often snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but never was there a worse example. Devastated at the time. Never really got over it. For a few years I expected them both to come back, and everything would be all right again. But as the years went on, the hope slipped away. What a terrible waste...

sunnyhill60 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 What a week that was! The euphoria of seeing Clough in the stand at the home game against Leicester followed by the slow realisation that there would be no turning back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, if it hadn't been for Cloughie and, as an impressionable 9 year old in County Durham, I really wouldn't have become and remained a Rams fan. His legacy and the subsequent triumph with Dave Mackay, left me scarred for life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born in 1985 - But I know my history - Maybe not the exact dates but as soon as I saw 1973 I had an inkling what this would be about My old man maintains that we'd be an established top-end Premier League side if he'd stayed - Thinks a legacy would have been built over 20 years which would have won us more titles and solidified us as one of the big boys by the time the Premier League landed - Has always maintained we have the most potential out of the 3 East Midlands clubs (Leicester have too much rugby and Nottingham has two clubs and only has a history because of Cloughie anyway) - Has always said the East Midlands has space for a genuinely big club and thinks it would have been us had we not lost the master May be wishful thinking and personally I think that's a thoroughly depressing thought with where we are now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said the team was better than Forests and we would have gone on to dominate the way Liverpool did in the 80s. Who knows where we would be now? Of course we had another good chance to put ourselves amongst the big boys in the late 80s but, once again, a chairman had other ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
