Amazing really. When I think about what i was doing when Atkinson got sacked. I wasn't far past hanging round street corners and scratching my name into walls. Some fairly mature, adult united supporters weren't even born. Odd when put in those terms.

![]() dare say that's some kind of forum in joke. groovy. the point is not contrary at all. people gloss over 3 entire seasons as being shit. even people who didn't even see United during that time just dismiss the entire period because United won £#%&! all and they can't see the dates on the roll of honour. the reality was very different. some of my finest United memories are from that period. like winning 6-2 at Goodison at Xmas1977. like greenhoff's Mark Robins header in the semi-final. like Hill and Coppell's braces against City. great times. |

I remember being sad Atkinson had been sacked. It was only 18 months before we had a top side that had been decimated by injuries and STILL won the cup. Hughes going to everyones dismay didn't help either.
It was only in hindsight you realised the squad was too old and alot of the 'injuries' could be put down to 'conditioning issues'. |
