I'm reading a book about football's golden decade, the 1970s.
Written by Andrew Smart, it looks at various aspects of 'last great decade for English football'. It's very good and got me thinking, we've had some good times, some bad, but which was our best DECADE?
1950s - big crowds, some near misses then finally promotion to Division Two for the first time
1960s - Two relegations but a glorious championship seaosn in 64/65 with over 100 league goals in the season and an ex-England international signed
1970s - Three promotions and a relegation. Massive crowds at the end of the decade and into the top-flight promised land
1980s - An FA Cup Final, two relegations and a promotion. Some memorable days out
1990s - The dark days, but the start of the fan's fight to save our club. Archer & Bellotti but we got them out. Fans United
2000s - Back to back promotions, a relegation then glory in the play-offs. Bobby Zamora, the fight for Falmer
2010s - Two promotions, Gus Poyet, Vicente, Chris Hughton, Knockaert and into The Premier League
