Will we ever really know the truth about that season??? Cattlin was fired at the end of the previous season, amid protests and all round general astonishment at that decision. Replaced by Mullery, who after a shaky start to the season, was in many peoples eyes starting to turn it around...Then...
To be fair, Lloyd rebuilt a bloody good side the following year that won promotion and a few years later went to Wembley....Lloyd never gets the credit he deserves for that. It's all clouded by what followed, understandable enough I suppose...But yes Edna it was a "what the **** moment", I agree
Who would have thought 12 mths later, Lloyd would be manager, we would be in div 3 and the team would have Keeley, Dublin, Rougvie, Nelson, Bremner, Wilkins, Curbishley etc etc in it???
