Can remember getting the result (I was just short of ten), and going up to my bedroom with a marker pen to add "1969/70" to the league champions section of the list of honours on the pennant I had on my bedroom wall.

Also had an FA Cup wallchart which I'd confidently put up the previous summer before we lost to Sheffield United 2-1 in the third round (great final that year though).

That was the start of the decline, i saw everything in the sixties, so we had to wait till mid eighties before we won anything.
