I remember going to America at the end of September for five weeks and I was flabbergasted by the run of wins and Cobblers top when I got back in early November. There was no way of checking results back then if you were in the American midwest.
Massive queue to get in on Boxing day v Cardiff along Wantage road. A couple of Cardiff fans walked down the street and a couple of Cobblers fans starting Baaaaa in and got a bit of a pasting for their troubles!
If I'm honest though, I was a regular as a teenager in the 70's but felt like a bit of a glory hunter so didn't go to too many games that season. It wasn't until 92 that I returned to the fold full time and have been lumbered ever since.
Anyway, look at this link and weep!!
