Dixon, Speedie and Nevin of course who was our then equivalent of Eden Hazard... He used to have some silky skills on the ball he did... The 80's were not the worst times but it had it's ups and downs... In the early 80's we were in the old Second Division and we were up and down like a yoyo at times however we did go on to win the Second Division in 83/84 went up then 4 seasons later got relegated when they had that stupid play off system in operation rather than the straight 3 up 3 down rule.. That was a massive low point for me personally.. But we did bounce back in style winning it again in 88/89..
Funny how that season started as we had drawn 2 or 3 and lost 3 odd of our opening 6 games if I remember correctly and it looked like it was going to be another shit season then we went on this amazing streak of not losing for something like 20 odd games and smashed it... We ended up beating City by a country mile who were at the time the favourites to win the league.. We did win the Full Members Cup twice in that time as well.. The City game was a cracker!
