A terrific season. The second half of the season was as exciting as it gets.
As it happens, all that hard work from Birmingham got them nowhere. They're now sitting below us in the League. Don't get me wrong, I'm not still bitter after all these years...

 

[Lionchel]

Unbeaten at home as well

Offside goal (Jimmy Hill proved it on tele) at St Andrews cost us

It was still in our hands though. 2-0 away to Burnley shortly after was the killer for me. I thought Burnley were a very tough team that season and I was surprised they didn't do better. We drew 1-1 at home earlier in the season with them with an 89th minute equaliser.

My memory is poor but I do remember that game .

If you look at the Division Two table from back then and compare it to this seasons Championship table, look how many of the same teams are still in the same (equivalent) league. There are fourteen, and one making their way to where they are currently residing.

Offside goal (Jimmy Hill proved it on tele) at St Andrews cost us

I was still doing the backstroke in my old mans nut sack, but i do remember Jimmy Hills chin.

Another OG (second)

Surprised no one has mentioned the pitch invasion at Orient yet? Spoiler alert, we weren’t even playing!

 

[BigPaul]

I was at that game v Preston. CBL.

Thanks for this, the old place looks rammed. I don’t remember it without the high fences. Will show my Dad this tomorrow as he always talks about those players.

I always remember that game, I couldn't make it. A bloke wouldn't change his early Saturday for my late Saturday and couldn't even give a reason. He then asked me to change duties a few weeks later. I told him to f*** off and he was really shocked

I did make the Orient v Birmingham game, couldn't believe Lazarus missed at least one chance.

After moving from the halfway line, I ended behind that goal. Hatton was well off.

 

[Lion1964]

I was 8 years old and still remember most of that season, old man took me to my first proper away game to Norwich a 2-2 draw.
Was desperate to go with him to brum away but he wasn’t having any of it.
This game was the first time I got on the pitch the last time was at Luton

 

[Supreme Lion]

Amazing of how many teams in that league are still at the same level this season. Only 1, Fulham, are in a higher league, with the others, including the trainspotters, lower down.

I think a few of us from MO were there that day. A great day out..!
Believe it or not, it was 50 years ago this year...

What a team that was, none of todays players would displace any of them. The only thing I would have changed was Keith Weller in for Gordon Bolland but I think we had sold him to Leicester when that game was played
