They won the League. They won the Cup. They injected desperately-needed life, colour, artistry, and imagination into our stehale and ailing football set-up.

And when, finally, they elinched their towering oùjer- tives, more than 2,000,000 wd- iniring customers had poured throngh the turnstiles to ave these modest magicians
