This, all day long.
"Dicks out" was sang from ALL stands, you think toxic atmospheres are bad now, nothing compared to then!
Harry Dolman took dogs abuse but, he saw something in AD and kept him, gave him time to assemle a team that got us up. It may be interesting for some but Dicks was £100,000 UP in his transfer dealings when Norman Hunter retired. At the time Harry had also retired and the board at the time had squandered the money. Dicks wanted to sign a virtuality unknown Scottish centre half to take Hunters place. The board said no. The cost? 100k, the player? Willie Miller, still I believe Scotlands record capped player and captain.
The next season we get relegated.
Dicks is our most successful manager because he was given TIME!!!
