    Re: years gone by

    For my sins, I hitched with three other guys to watch York City play at Dudley Town (FA Cup) in the late 1970s. From memory, Northwich Victoria used to be one of the best non-league sides in and around the same era... Runcorn too have had their moments (unless, maybe, there are two Runcorns?).

    Would I be right in thinking that Ilkeston (in different guises) have also played Sporting Khasala a few times over the more recent years?  These tables make a good read now though... Interesting post. Thanks.

    I remember that game. Walsall Wood thought that they’d won the league after beating us because that win put them level with us on points and they had a better goal difference. But we finished the season with two high scoring wins and snatched the title.
