Thanks Pete, we were talking earlier about whether any of us had seen us so high. My first matches were in 74-75 so you’ve answered that.

The 1946/47 season was the one extended into June to complete fixtures postponed in the hard winter. I was born on the day of the 5th match from the end of the season (Preston, 2-3 home defeat, story of my life!), and United lost the next 2 games. So by the time I was 1 week old, United had played 3, lost 3. I am beginning to think I may have been responsible for our failure to win the League that year...
