Lack of goals did for us that year. From the start of the new year only Southampton battered us. But in the twenty games from Jan 1st we only scored fifteen goals and four of them were in the West Ham game when we were as good as down. Stainrod and Thompson got six goals each all season, Andy Gray scored once in eighteen games and Aspinall didn't score in his first eleven games for us.

Blair was signed after we won the league, our only summer signing that close season!
Imagine an H&V transfer thread in those days!!

There was a young Erdington lad called Mark Burke that made his debut that season too. Another one that didn't really make the grade, pretty sure he went to Wolves at some stage.
