Saw every minute of every game in that League Cup run. The belief amongst the players was inspirational. Ken Roberts is a Legend.

Days never to be repeated unfortunately. One of tthe few advantages of being old is that we have memories of the past glories of the seventies. Still wish I was 30 years yoinger though.  |

What a time to be a Chester fan. Loved every minute and never to be repeated.
As mentioned, Ken Roberts is indeed a legend, but don't let's forget the part Brian Green played as his number two - genius who went on to manage the Australian national team.
As well as watching every game up to the semi-final I also went to the final where Villa (should have been Chester) beat Norwich.
Happy, wonderful and memorable days.

The 64/5 and 74/5 teams provided great entertainment but the best ever team was the 77/78 side. The quality of that side will never be seen again. I remember it clearly Lloyd N Edwards. Walker Storton. Delgado. Oakes Crossley. Livermore. I Edwards. Mellor. Phillips with Derek Jeffries, Henderson and Raynor also in contention, WHAT A TEAM ! |

I wouldnt disagree.
That team wasnt far off, present day Champuonship standard. Ian Edwards, Mellor and Crossley. Some forward line that.

Surely Paul Richardson must slot into that line up somewhere , probably our most gifted footbalker of that generation |

I jumped up and came down on my ankle: agony and ecstasy simultaneously. Edit: sorry I think that was Nick Richardson, another class act. |

He was with us the previous season. |

Edit: sorry I think that was Nick Richardson, another class act. I remember that free kick like it was yesterday Hannibal. Great night at the old Gay Meadow. We were clinging on at the end. But the joy at the final whistle was amazing. |

I worked on your turnstiles that night and took over £3000 cash and no one could get to my turnstile to read the meter so i fought my way through the crowd at half time with the cash stuffed in my pockets !! Wouldnt do that now . |
