Who's been re-writing football history?

United never mounted a title challenge - they had a late run and finished 6th.

And a win at Brum wouldn't have meant a place in the UEFA Cup. Only the champs qualified for the European Cup, and the UEFA Cup places went to 2nd, 3rd, 4th and the League Cup Winners (Villa).

A win at Brum (unless by something like 10 - 0) would have meant United finishing 5th in 74/75 (remember only 2 points for a win in those days).

http://www.fchd.info/lghist/fl/fl1975.htm

If I remember correctly the number of points Derby got for the title was the lowest ever - and they clinched the title with a 0-0 draw at home to relegated Carlisle.

And come 75/76 United were as good as relegated at Christmas.

Not going to argue with you LongCol about something that happened over 30 years ago but check the table you posted for us.
Nobody has been trying to re-write history as you put it, we needed to WIN at Brum 1-0 to get into Europe.
Liverpool won the Cup so they wouldn't have gone into the UEFA Cup and with a win and another point the Blades would have finished 5th and took the 4th European spot up :nod:
That would explain why we took over 6,000 to Birmingham on the Tuesday night and a young CB was one of them, Couldn't see us taking that many if we had to win 10-0 :hihi::hihi:

Hopefully Bladebloke can shed more light on this for us but, I am 100% sure we only needed a win that night :huh:

As for the 1975-76 season, yes we were almost relegated by Christmas, thats the season they opened the Laver stand and with us going down it crippled SUFC for years. CB and Dad had a season ticket that season, It all went Pete Tong from the 1st match of the season with running battles on the pitch with Derby County.Quite possibly the worst ever season in Sheff Utd History

Retribution from the Gods, for kicking Yorkshire County Cricket Club out!

Without them forming you in the 1880's you wouldn't have even existed, and how did you repay them? Sent them to Abbeydale.

Imagine all thoswe ghosts around the place that season.
Bobby Peel (whose actions every Wednesdayite has dearly wished to emulate ever since) putting a bit of moisture in the pitch, and Geroge Hirst getting it to swing! I bet they were all there!

I remember that season well. I also remember being in the little 3 tuns and some blade lad who I knew well at the time but for the life of me cant remember his name now - saying - yeh we are definately going places this season - indeed. I hate predictions like that. Reminds me of Kevin Keegan commentating on England - something along the lines of, there is no way we can loose this match now - doh!

Hi CB

Liverpool won the cup in 1974 (end of 73/74 season) so qualified for the cup winners cup in 74/75.

West Ham won the cup in 75 and therefore were in the cup winners cup 75/76.

So a 5th place finish for United in 74/75 would not have qualified them for the 75/76 UEFA cup - 2nd, 3rd & 4th plus League Cup winners qualified.

a win would have got us in europe. we could have finished 4th above everton with a single goal win and qualified. don't forget you had to be einstein in those days to work goal differance out. it was'nt as easy as goals for - goals against. it was something daft to do with percentages. my old dad told me you pigs once got relegated by summet like 1/1000 of a goal. even i dont know how yer work that out.

a quote from a book i got for crimbo.

quote len badger /

we just missed out on europe in furphys 1st season. we needed two points at birmingham and we ended up drawing after tony currie missed a sitter. he went round 3 players and side footed the ball past the post. it was late in the game and if that had gone in, we'd have been playing in europe. i'll never forgive tc for denying me the chance to play in europe. unquote.

No you didn't have to be Einstein - anybody who'd passed their 11 plus (showing my age here!) could work it out.

Goal average was simply goals scored divided by goals conceded.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goal_difference

Doing the sums for 74/75;

Everton's goal average 56 scored divided by 42 conceded - average 1.33333

Blades goal average if they'd won 1 - 0 at Brum and finished level on points with Everton, 59 scored, 51 conceded - average 1.1569.

Everton finish 4th.

Blades goal average if they'd won 1 - 0 at Brum and finished level on points with Everton, 59 scored, 51 conceded - average 1.1569.

Everton finish 4th.


The question then would be, what was Everton's last result of the season? Assuming they got at least one point out of it, then United would, indeed, have gone into that Birmingham game with a shot at Europe if they won it. Only in hindsight would they (and us) have known that a 1-0 win wasn't enough anyway.

Best I can find at the moment is this;

http://www.the-english-football-archive.com/league_results/1st_level/1974-1975-results.htm

Everton had finshed their season on the Saturday with a 1-1 draw away to Chelsea.

Blades would have drawn level on points with a win at Brum the following Tuesday - but would have needed to win summat like 10 - 0 to beat Everton for 4th place on goal average.


Most of all I'm going on my memory of that season - I wasn't earning enough to follow Wednesday away on a regular basis - but loving footy - and Blades having Currie and Woodward in their pomp (and Badger - best uncapped RB) I used to go with mates (Dougie, Chris, Snod) to the Lane. Can't remember them being gutted about missing out on Europe which is why I was surprised CB brought it up in the first place on the Owls / Coventry thread.

Isn't this period he is refering to the time you should have been attending school? Perhaps you should have paid more attention in English lessons.

I Will have you know porky pig that i gained an O Level in English (frigg knows how)
And i did attend school frequently and like most others daydreamed of

Currans Goal in Return Fixture
F.A Cup semi final slaughter of piggys
Rumbelows Cup Glory beating Man Utd
Wednesday playing 2 Cup Finals in the same season
Wednesday in Europe via the above Cup Finals
2-0 Victory this season when you lot couldnt be arsed

I used to have a mate at school who was a porky,ohhhhhh how he longed for the days when he could proudly announce that they had been promoted from Div 4

And some porky will come and say..."At least it wa great at DARLIN'TON!" :hihi:

So a 5th place finish for United in 74/75 would not have qualified them for the 75/76 UEFA cup - 2nd, 3rd & 4th plus League Cup winners qualified.


Stoke pipped you to the last UEFA cup place didn't they?

I don't know if it was the next season (or after they won the league cup a few years previously), but one year they lost to our old firends from Kaiserslautern - you know that club which was mentioned a few days ago, which won that "mickey mouse" league on a regular basis.

You know the one, it's in the country whose players keep on beating ours in penalty shoot-outs.

[QUOTE=geocol;3167970]Stoke pipped you to the last UEFA cup place didn't they?[QUOTE]

Yep because we drew with Birmingham.
Like i said if we had beat them we would have been in the Uefa Cup :D

No - Stoke didn't get into the UEFA cup in 75/76 by finishing 5th in 74/75 - 2nd, 3rd, 4th and League Cup winners qualified - although they qualified for the 74/75 UEFA Cup by finishing 5th in 73/74 (Liverpool finished 2nd but qualified for Cup Winners Cup by winning cup in 74).

http://footballsite.co.uk/Statistics/European/Clubs/Stoke1974-75.htm

Still contend a 1 - 0 win for the Blades at Brum wouldn't have got them into Europe - they would have been on the same points as Everton but with an inferior goal average.

I've just had a reminder of a few hundred nights when I stayed up to watch the highlights, after the news at half past ten, when I was a kid.

How do we manage to sort this out, think i might have to send an e-mail to BDTBL and see what the official verdict on this one was.
I know we only needed a point, dont know the who, what, wheres of it but, definelty only need to win at Brum.

Hi CB

Just thinking there may have been some confusion because of Villa.

Now normally 2nd, 3rd, 4th and League Cup Winners qualified for UEFA back then. However I think to qualify for UEFA you had to be a 1st Div club.

When Villa won the League Cup in 74/75 they were 2nd Div - so 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th would have qualified.

But Villa got promoted in 74/75 so I assume UEFA ruled that as they were Div 1 in 75/76 they could play in the UEFA Cup.

Obviously wouldn't have caused controversy in Sheffield as United finished 6th - but perhaps Stoke who finished 5th were a little cheesed off.

I seem to recall someone writing to 'Flashing Blade' and disproving the 'we could have got there' theory. I'll try and dig it up.

You would think .. but he was wrong. A 1-0 win would've left them in 5th place on goal average. Only a 10-0 win or better would have been sufficient.

As of the Friday before that weekend's games, he would have known that United needed to win. He may not have realised that, if nothing else went their way, a mere win wasn't enough.

Players aren't usually the most reliable source of football history - and most of their books are written by "ghostwriters".

IHMO Len Badger was a class act - probably the best uncapped full back of the mid 60's to the mid 70's - but like all football players not likely to be a candidate for "Brain of Britain".

I think people were perhaps under the mistaken impression that a 5th place finish (best that could be achieved with a 1 - 0 win at Brum) would have meant a place in the UEFA cup.

However the draw at Brum meant Stoke finished 5th in 1974/75 - but they did not qualify for the 75/76 UEFA cup.

Didn't expect any less from the pigs on here saying it was a boring game, I actually needed a few beers to settle down because it was a tense match for us Blades fans.
We were 2nd best on the night, we were expected to lose by as many as 4-0 according to some pigs on here when we actually did well to hold them off from scoring for 2 and a bit matches.

No success in Sheffield football at all lately but Blades have had far more success on and off the field in the past 10 years, tell me what you have achieved lately...

Awaits the one line reply :D

Tha the state of Sheffield football,full of almosts,fact is i can remember being there when we won a trophy,only one though but its better than nowt,remember plenty of almosts like Everton c/f and Arsenal c/finals,I'm like tou can only get to Hillsbrough when in Sheff(currently watching your junior team Sao Paulo)so have to rely most of the time on my kin to keep me up to date and its currently not good,hence my input here,why almosts and no achievements.
