My Season as a United Fan...1975/76

In the last couple of years it had been 'the worst of times', relegation to the second tier of English football since the War and then a whole campaign tasked with getting out at the first attempt. So when would it return back to 'the best of times', and would it happen under 'The Doc'?
This vid takes a personal look back at the first campaign back in the big time, and chronicles how 'The Doc's Red and White Army' did their utmost to win on 2 major fronts at the first attempt!
So sit back, relax and reminisce, or like me when creating it, learn about the ups and downs of a season before my time, the 1975/76 campaign.

I would like to give a massive thank you to Roy Nicol for his generosity in allowing me to use his Super Sound 8 camera footage you can see in the opening of the video. The footage is from 20th September 1975 and covers some of the pre-game in United's 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town.
You can watch all of it, which I truly recommend especially if you happen to have been in the crowd on the day, at: • MANCHESTER UNITED V IP...

The 1976 F.A Cup final was the 1st i ever saw on a colour T.V set, i was 9 yrs old & we had a B&W set in our house so a couple of mate's & I watched the Man Utd Vs Saint's game at the village's Boy Scout Master's house & he was a die-hard red. At full time he was hugely disappointed & i was made up for seeing the game in colour so could talk big on the Monday a.m. Incredible upset as the yellow shirted Saints scored late on from the edge of the box. When Utd did win the cup in later yrs Grown men would drive round our small North Wales village dangerously hanging out + off cars with horns blaring & flags/ scarfs waved The 70s & 80s when us normal folk could afford the few £££s to watch a 1st Division match. Great post mate, sorry to waffle.

Not waffle at all Russell, I love these personal anecdotes. My first-ever Cup Final was 1985, so I had some more luck. The next video will be a follow-up, like a 2-parter, which will be more palatable, the 1976/77 campaign. ;)

@@gadaboutunited The 85 final was an absolute epic. Utd playing for so long with 10 men after K. Morans red card & then N . Whitesides gem of a goal. Very few overseas players & the FA cup back then was cherished very highly. At 58 i still watch the final every year no matter who contests it or where i am. Cheers + good luck.
