BaaLocks Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Charlie George didn't play in the Championship winning team - see the Celtic thread thrown up by @Inverurie Ram - that was his debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC--RAM Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Great times watching that team play.Some of my all time DCFC heroes in that picture. Serious lump in the throat when we remember we were the champions of England (twice) and were cheated out off being European giants too. Ah well, lets not dwell in the past as i don't have an NG postcode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Maybe I was too young to fully appreciate the 72 team but the 75 one for me was more exciting and entertaining. Both ducking brilliant though....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 72 for me i’ve heard mcfarland say the 75 team had more flair, which is odd since he only played 4 games. I think people forget that Charlie George wasn’t here then. And the 72 team got a lot more points. the real pity is that both of these sides played on a disgraceful pitch. Besides being hard to play on, key players suffered bad injuries - McFarland groin. Nish knee. Newton hip. Hennessy knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clough didn’t help, he had the BBG pitch watered before every game as we were used to playing ankle deep in mud. The European teams must have loved it.
