Great post Alf. Even as a nipper I remember Joe Mercer's treatment and it was painful as a fan to see the way he was forced out by Swales.

It's never been easy being a Blue and that's why most of us love it - it's character building. Not for us the easy option of supporting the rags and being guaranteed trophy after trophy. Anyone could do that.
