Was the reply to tha question asked by a journalist: 'What two things don't go hand in hand' in tonights first part of 'Red Riding' on Channel Four.
This part was set in September 1974 and come the end of that season we finished 5th with the very real chance of winning the 1st Division title up until the last couple of games of the season.
Not sure why the scriptwriter chose us as the example!

Perhaps the writer just really doesn't like us?

I'd have loved to have seen us in the seventies.

I did. Well from the FA Cup game against Man City in 1976, just after the Butler Street Stand roof blew off and it was the beginning of the end of a wonderful era in our history.

But we did bounce back from the stand blowing of and subsequent relegation. The real turning point was Barkers POMO

Who can forget the league cup win against the mighty chelsea,who had got to the final of the european cup winners cup that year,and the 2 epic Arsenal FA cup semi matches and replays.The worst bit was the slow demise of SCFC,with players like Jimmy Greenhoff,Micky Bernard,Micky Pejic all sold,and the early retirement of Gordon Banks due to a car accident.They were the days when we could actualy win away and play great football,with the added injection of tough players too.We thought we could beat anybody them days but distance memories that should be remembered for ever.Maybe one day young kids will be saying how they wish they could have seen us in this era.

the fact that sucha comment could be made about us shows just what a good side we had then. We were a team that could challenge right at the very top of the english games, makes you proud doesn't it!

Not sure why the scriptwriter chose us as the example! It wasn't the scriptwriter. That line is in the original novel by David Peace. Same bloke who wrote The Damned United. He's a big Huddersfield fan. |
