We were reigning champs when WW2 broke out in September 1939 and the football was immediately suspended for the duration.
WW1 broke out in 1914 but they played the 1914/15 season and we won the Title.
The football was suspended then.
So…EFC has been been the longest serving champions in...
Not to mention Heysel getting our best ever team banned from Europe when we had probably the best team in the continent and our one chance of winning the European Cup.
Then there was 1963…becoming champions then having our best player banned for life over a scandal at his previous club.

He couldn’t be any worse than this fraud.
Unlikely.

I cried twice on Wimbledon Day.
I cried when we were 2-0 down and I thought we were relegation certainties :(
And I cried again, for joy, at the end when we had saved ourselves :dance:
I said earlier in the thread…draw not the end of the world for us.
But it may be for them.
Their next game is City….the day we host Bees.
Draw on Sunday and we could be four points clear of them next Saturday night :pint2:
More pressure on them than us.
I don’t know about that.
I would have Dunc over DCL any day of the week.
And Madar over Beto or Chermiti.
Barmby and Hutchison walk into our current midfield IMO.
Watson better than any current CB at the club, including Branthwaite at this stage of his career.
O’Kane wasn’t much good but I...
