    We can all dream.
    Even my team came close in 84 reaching the semi finals only to be cheated by a corrupt ref who accepted a financial bribe from Roma. Fact.
    But all history now. But it still hurts.

    Thought this was going to be a thread about a small team from a small South Yorkshire town with a coal mining heritage that dared to reach the dizzy heights of the Premier League.

    A Premier League that really didn’t want them there.

    Daydream Believers, or summat like that.

    I still think if Danny Wilson had have had faith in the players that got him there we'd have stayed up.

    That was a brilliant Notts Florist team back then, under Clough & Taylor.
    In the days when the European cup was a proper competition, and even the League cup meant a lot then.
    If only Clough (& Taylor) had got the England job, who knows what might have happened.

    An era where mega bucks didn't virtually buy trophies!
