Just dug out this Goal cover from July 1969. Honestly, imagine any footy magazine, app, blog or website in this day and age leading with a front-cover headline like THIS CAN BE KILMARNOCK'S YEAR.

No one in their right mind would want the violence and racism of those days back, but football has lost something big and irreplaceable alongside the toxic stuff. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater is the curse of our age.
