I remember it well.
We were second to Liverpool as the season drew to a close but, lost our last two games by 0-1. Firstly at White Heart Lane and then at home to Cloughy's Forest side who, as a result, pinched the runners up spot from us.
I was on holiday in Majorca at the time and remember being devastated by that last result but, consoled myself with the thought that the next season would see us be even more successful.
Of course, it didn't happen; Laurie left us for Madrid and results went downhill.
Then in 1981 Atkinson was head hunted by Man Utd and took Robson and Moses with him. Then some idiot appointed Nobby Stiles.
Assuming that squad were playing for us now I would be surprised if several of them weren't head hunted by the monied teams. Perhaps even Bomber might have gone elsewhere and, probably got more recognition and England Caps than he did.
