Those were indeed the days. Great manager in Mike Buxton. Great victories with fantastic attacking football. Unbeaten for a whole season of 23 league games in the old Third Division. Two promotions and then the board of directors do the usual dirty trick and sack Mick. What happened? We went down the next full season conceding a century of goals.
I knew of David Cowling at Wilby Carr Secondary School, as we were in the same class. We all knew at school he was an excellent footballer, but he was also an intelligent man in the higher end of the School. Not surprised he would have a career in football. I believe he married his school teenage sweetheart. Also a nice decent man. I believe he could have played for Division 1, Manchester United/City? He also started one of the first football academies in the UK, not just for football, but education too. I am sure his teachers would have said "Well Done". Pleased for him, but wish he could have played for one of the Manchester clubs in his heyday. (Do you remember me ... MO?)
