But I can and will always remember those couple of years where the pride wasn’t
existential it was real and in your face. Genuine pulse racing pride in our
team and our manager, ethos and heart. Sadly I can’t see that returning.
I feel really lucky to have enjoyed those few years.
I missed the glory of the sixties and seventies. If it was like those couple of
years under bielsa it must’ve been special.
I’m gonna say it cos I’ve had a brink but I loved Marcelo and What he made
us.
Best regards,Scott.
