Sounds like we were a bit lucky to win the league in 1960

Poor journalism!

Absolutely. We won the league on the Monday, Princess Margaret was married on the Friday( May 6th) and Blackburn were beaten in the FA Cup Final the following day(May 7th). Oh, Dave Whelan suffered a broken leg in the final in case you didn't know.
