2004, if I recall correctly. Started the season like a steam train, but ran out of steam by May.

Lots of factors; Jones - an absolute revelation - picked up an injury and chucked it, Bentley’s form fell off a cliff, Blackman and Campbell were dreadful and subsequently replaced by Cockle and Carrillo which improved us at reserve, but McAllan came in for Jones, so we were on to plums.

Still, we had a 15-team Premier League. Imagine.

Didn't Stancl start to fade slightly that year as well after two good seasons in 02 and 03? Lots of engine issues?

He was a class act.

He was classy and quick, but didn't seem to handle pressure very well. My memory is that he generally didn't do well in heat 15 and all his bad matches seemed to be against Edinburgh
