The great thing about the early 1970s is that Man U were pretty crap. In 1950s and 60s there had been 5 League Championships and an F.A.Cup win, but following the 1968 European Cup win (from which there are 9 survivors here - see below) through to 1976, they didn't win a bean. As the great players left, the team got worse and in 1973-74 the unbelievable (now, not then) happened, and Man U were relegated ! Leeds United won the Championship that year, too, which must have been a double blow for them. They only stayed down a year, and haven't really looked so far back since. Hurrumph!
