Hmm, this is a toughie. So much to choose from. However to try and tie it down 63-64 when we gained promotion to the First Divison, having avoided relegation to the third two seasons earlier when we had to wiin our final match, was great but even better was 64-65, our first season back in the top. Runners up on goal average for the first division title and runners up in the FA losing to Liverpool in extra time havng beaten ManU in the semi's after a replay.
