salty Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 Always an interesting read. Thank You. I remember the name change to Cradley United well, I believe it was the brainchild of Harry Bastable who had taken over as Team Manager prior to the 1973 season. I still stuck with my CH programme board though! Four seasons as United with improving fortunes - we had a pretty attractive side in 1976. The United moniker might have been swept away when Dan McCormick took over, but the red remained part of the Heathens colours for a lot longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cradley United kept the Tigers, then of Coatbridge, off the bottom of the league, and provided us with what would turn out to be our last ever away win in the BL as we dropped down to the second tier for the following season. They were also our opponents on the one and only night Eton Muller rode for us at Coatbridge, so I have fond memories of your times as United.
