remembering them are good - but danny did miracles with us! although if we had won at wembley that day would we have remembered bassett in the same way!
Allan Clarke started the ball rolling & essentially built the side that just missed out on promotion to the original Division 1 in the early 80's.
Anyone else remember that great clip from the Yorkshire TV Sporting Awards? Dave Basset sitting next to David O'leary who'd just won the Manager of the Year award, "If Darren Barnard had scored that penalty, I'd have won that!" Pure class!(Y)
I love Bassett. A very good manager and a really decent, amusing man. Remember too that he rejected Blackburn to stay with us.
RE: Allan Clarke started the ball rolling Clarke inherited the nucleas of a good side, from Jim Iley, who would probably have won the promotion if he had been given the money and leeway that Clarke was given.
Can't really remember Jim Iley But I take your point about Clarkey inheriting the nucleus of a good side, after all, from memory, I think he only added 2 signings of his own to the side that was already there. Not including himself of course!
