Life was so much different then when we embarked on what was to turn out to be the most momentous season in our history. Or was it so different? What has struck me how young a lot of the team were. Ages at the start of that season.

No one else appeared in more than 7 games as we got promoted to Division 2.
Of those 15 players above, 8 of them were 22 or under at the start of the season and only 5 aged 25 and over. Throw in a couple of appearances from 18 year olds Andy Edwards and Paul Smith you could say it was boys against men a lot of the time.
Those boys were a lot better than the ones we have now!
