The strange thing, looking back on this game, is that the majority of the side here -who struggled to beat the pub team that is Macclesfield Town- were promoted the following season.

We sometimes don't realise how fine the margins are in football; what a difference a few key signings can make to a team and what role intangible things like confidence and team spirit play in separating success from failure.

Just watched the Jimmy Glass goal and story on Sky. All of your second paragraph is exactly what happened there. Plus luck.

Who is our winger at 0.58 who crossed the ball? No 11....looks like David Eyres, but I thought he'd left by then? :?:

Of course!

He looked like a young Ryan Giggs galloping down the wing
