And also they did have that naivety that came with being a young side, going back into their top flight against teams who were experienced winners and experienced for challenging for honours.
But like you mentioned earlier, Gordon Hill signs in November.
Very critical signing in terms of the balance of this team because it finally gave a very distinct right on the side and a very distinct middle core of this team, didn't it?
And Gordon, I mean, he came from... Millwall had just been relegated to the third division at the start of this season.
So he's making a leap of two divisions.
Obviously, I'm going to be very...
biased towards Gordon because I know him very well.
But let's give him a little bit of a tribute here because the way that he settled into life in the top flight was quite remarkable, wasn't it?
Yes.
Yeah, the king of all Cockneys.
Not necessarily a natural successor to the King Dennis Lowe, but certainly the king of all Cockneys.
And yeah, Old Trafford took to him straight away.
And they called him the happiest Londoner who ever went north or something like that.
And he was, he was brilliant.
And any sort of look back at the goals that he scored, you can see they were just a spectacular variety.
His style of volleying was, I mean, no one matched that until Mark Hughes came over.
Yeah, I mean, sort of bumpy start, well, not start, but bumpy autumn basically moved them out of the first division title race, but they still, with Hill in the side, they basically recovered.
The form was really good over the winter to spring, and
they were sort of in touching distance and we'll get to, to what, how close that touching distance was, but they were there or thereabouts.
They were, they were competing at the top.
