My first season ticket was Tommy Docherty’s season, so you could say things could only get better! My favourite at the time was Andy McAteer because he lived next door to my grandad 😄 but there was never really anyone to idolise until John Thomas came along. The re election season was obviously a low point but he gave absolutely everything that season and the season after he carried on and we got promotion. He didn’t look like a footballer, he didn’t seem to be particularly fit, he never stayed anywhere long but we loved him - and I think anyone of my age probably still does.
And then came Mooney ....
