Nearly got the sack from my job that year, for refusing to work on a saturday (for which i signed to do) and going to a match cos i new we would only have one season in the first division.
No Ron Springett came from Sheffield Wed for the 67-68 season, his brother Peter went in the opposite direction, bit of a surprise after the 66-67 League Cup/Promotion double. Bearing in mind RS signed for us in 67, having been in the World cup winning squad the year before. He got injured in 67-68, Mike Kelly was the keeper for many games in the run in to promotion in 68, he's the England keepers coach now (or was?)
Ron's last season for us was that 68-69 season, don't remember how many games he played, but he wasn't really up to it. I think Parkes joined in 1970, he was about 19, got him from Walsall. Best keeper we ever had.
Mike Kelly is now down the road as assistant manager to Roy Hodgson.
