Thank you , thank you, thank you ............. January 8th 1972, aged 8 years old, and I was taken to my first ever live football match, Everton v West Ham at Goodison Park ............ my life was never quite the same again .............. this thread has brought me so much pleasure.

Roy, thank you very much for the kind words! Coming from you, it means especially much. Together with fellow BigSoccer poster DerChef, I have created my own website just recently where I will continue this series. Season 1971-72 for example can be found here: http://www.historical-lineups.com/english-first-division/season-1971-72.html The layout of the website is still being under construction and thus not yet finished.
[Once again, you are quite welcome and I shall be headed in the direction of your new site ASAP, mate. !!]
