Your favourite sky blue era ? (1 Viewer)

westendunited · Mar 6, 2013

The sillet/Curtis era was obviously truly memorable but for me is a close call between the bobby Gould revolution and the Dave sexton young team including Danny Thomas etc. great memories.

deanocity3 · Mar 6, 2013

they are all memorable,some are great and some shit but all are remembered.the favourite would be 1977-80 wally fergie hutch yorath etc 78 goals scored 1977-78 season

RME · Mar 6, 2013

The Jimmy Hill era was wonderful. We were innovative, successful and had huge crowds.

Otis · Mar 6, 2013

Yep, ditto.

Spot on in agreement with that Deano.

It was really strange on saturday when my heroes from the past come up to me call me Deano and shake my hand.
colin stein couldn't thank me enough when he asked me if I had any footage of him playing for the city.then I gave him a 2 hour DVD of him in action in sky blue.we were nearly in tears

Bless you Deano, that is a great service you are providing to us and I am delighted that someone who meant so much to us as Colin Stein did, also appreciates it and that it means something special to him to. That is good to hear.

Huckerby , dublin years .. Great team.

deanocity3 · Mar 6, 2013

well my film show will consist of 20 mins of each decade from 60's,70's,80's and 90's and so on you can make your own mind up.

torchomatic · Mar 6, 2013

For success the Sillet/Curtis years, the Cup Run, the visits to Wembley, etc.

For sheer excitement for me it was 1977/78 until 1981. I had just started going home and away every week and watch players like Wally and Fergie, Steve Hunt, Terry Yorath, etc. Also the brilliant "tram line" kit too. Fantastic!

SkyBlueBlood · Mar 6, 2013

Big crowds in the 70's were brilliant and add Hutch Wallace Fergie Yorath and playing 424. Great memories.

1987 will always be etched though.

westendunited · Mar 6, 2013

Bobby Gould brought virtually a complete new side inc. Stuart Pearce oggy Brian burrows terry Gibson Dave Bennett Micky gynn etc and made a great start to season. Travelled everywhere exciting times.

blueflint · Mar 6, 2013

all jimmy hill best times ever some good ones since but not as good

TheSnoz · Mar 6, 2013

"The Jimmy Hill era was wonderful. We were innovative, successful and had huge crowds."

RME said this. Agree with him.
Enjoyed Wally and Ferguson era too. Any game Hutchy played in. And that brief spell in 1981 was it, Danny Thomas, Gillespie etc. Loved Cup Final era obviously, but 1980s in English football was not good. Hoolies wrecked it.

Mucca Mad Boys · Mar 6, 2013

Sad as it is... Black's era for me... And I didn't o very often then!

covcity4life · Mar 7, 2013

dublin/huickerby or

or keane/hadji/chippo days probably

sky_blue_up_north · Mar 7, 2013

For me its the Jimmy Hill, closely followed by the Yorath/Wallace/Fergie/Hutch makes me sick the pig ear successive CCFC boards have made of out of our club. Moving to the Ricoh was the worst thing we ever did.
