Why did we win the ECL?imo the above! A togetherness at the end of a truly poor season,the reasons for this could be a number of things,the manager,the players,the board.
I remember as a kid playing for a junior side,we were the whipping boys for a good year,but we were all mates had a great laugh in training etc we wernt too bothered about getting thumped 10 nil or whatever we just used to say to each other - " you effing mug sort yourself aht!!"
We won 1 game & the floodgates opened,went on a run of about 15 unbeaten.....
Roll on 30 years later my boy played for a junior side,I'd go every week get to know the parents etc the kids were all mates & the parents all talked about each others families etc...
History repeated itself the boys tried their hardest,had a laugh & gave their best,training was a fun time for us adults watching especially in the rain when the boys would go sliding into puddles,my boy even did the 'worm'...
Anyway cut a long story short my sons team beat their biggest rivals 10 - 1 to lift the league title,one of my proudest moments as a dad...
Camaraderie,the most important thing in my book
Great stories buddy and agree
Great stories buddy and agree about Camaraderie. have a similar story but our change came with a new coach, ex Norwich player, gave us shape and inspiration, didnt win any league or cup but were no longer the whipping boys!!!
Sheer bloody mindedness
Thats why we won it
