ok officially getting excited now, when i started this i never for one minute imagined i would be close to filling in the gaps. got a few for 76-77 but not a lot, Bristol City have become the Sheffield Utd of the 76-77 season as the coverage of their matches is not the best

ive now got a fairly comprehensive ref database 1970-1980 for england, scotland, france, west germany, east germany, italy, switerland, spain, portugal, holland, belgium, romania, cechoslovakia, yugoslavia ,russia, hungary , league matches, euro matches and internationals, more countries in future plans
