Fair point. Forgot all about Denis Law. Choose the three forwards because their records were good. I think it's supposed to be a myth that Law relegated Man United. By the time he scored they were already going down regardless. Edited April 6, 2020 by ErsatzThistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g@un Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Newcastle United: Ronnie Simpson (GK) John Brownlie (RB) Matt Ritchie (LB) Bobby Moncur (CB) Frank Brennan (CB) Roy Aitken (DM) Tony Green (AM) Kevin Gallacher (RWF) Tommy Craig (LWF) Hughie Gallagher (CF) Mark McGhee / Duncan Ferguson (CF) Not too shabby!

daviebee Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Derby County, maybe a bit weak at full-back and goalkeeper but this would be one hell of a team... Jake Findlay Ikechi Anya Kenny Burns Dave Mackay Christian Dailly Bruce Rioch Don Masson Archie Gemmill Billy Steel Hughie Gallacher John Robertson Subs: Russell Anderson, Gary Caldwell, John McGovern, Craig Burley, John O'Hare, Kenny Miller Some central defence. Doubt if any forward would go near it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzpatrick was voted St Mirrens greatest ever player ( cue the jokes ), and is our current CEO. Left Saints to join BC for a couple of seasons 79-81 when you were in the top division and one of those seasons he won your POTY before returning to Paisley. Ironically when Saints became the only team to win the Anglo Scottish Cup, it was Bristol City we beat and Fitzy played against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintsparky Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Was thinking about an Everton team, but the amount of forwards was giving me a headache.....

I don't think they were relegated before the game, but other results on the day meant that Utd were going down regardless. It's likely Law didn't know that at the time he scored though. There was still one game left of the season left after the derby match, so if results had gone their way, they'd have still been in it going into the last game.

Man U needed to win their last two games to have a chance of staying up. But they also needed other results to go their way. When Denis scored, Man U still had a chance of staying up. But Man U would have had to come back to win that game and they also needed Norwich to come back and beat Birmingham. Birmingham actually beat Norwich and made it all academic in the end, but Denis wouldn't have known that at the time he scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I happened to see a great documentary on Man Utd a few after my last post in which this was also mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
