I hope it’s not prophetic, but seeing Sexton in that photo reminded me that we got him in partly because of his reputation as a coach and tactician …..

Steve Patterson at the back, Tommy Cavanagh assistant manager on the left and Laurie Brown the physio to the right of Sexton (he whose wife caused Doc's exit). Is that Tom Sloan next to Pancho?

Doubt it, he didn't sign until 1980. Picked us instead of Bayern.
