For those of us old enough to remember, 1971/72 was good

Obviously football was very very different then (guess you've all seen the old videos) but the point about that season was that it was the first time ever we reached the top division and that meant one hell of a lot to us young supporters who used to stand on the terraces each home game.

And to top it all of course, "The Canaries" c/w "The Norwich City Calypso" was released. They don't make records like that anymore either!
