It was the season Daniels picked up 19 goals. He was the proverbial one season wonder. Having come from Ashton United, (via a brief spell at Chester), he returned to Hurst Cross where he became a legend in Tameside non-league circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"color:#faf9f5\"><strong>EP &#8211; A CITADEL IN 1977<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Given the impoverished nature of our performances in the late 70&#8217;s 1977 saw a remarkable home record insofar as the games I saw.  There were 27 games in total and only the two defeats.  The second of those, an FA Cup 2nd round replay against Shrewsbury was hugely disappointing.  It deprived us of a trip to Blackburn, (then in Division 2, which at the time was the 2nd Tier).  The chance to play on a higher stage had gone.  It was to be another 18 years before there was a visit to Ewood Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The highlight of the year was a 6-0 win over Hartlepool.  Carl Halford and Eddie Prudham both picked up a brace, to add to strikes from Terry Park and a penalty from Alan Thompson.  One thing that dawned on me as I looked back to the 27 home games I saw in 1977, (involving 26 different teams), was how many would go on to cross paths with us in non league.  There were 11 of them; Aldershot; Cambridge; Darlington; Grimsby; Halifax; Hartlepool; Newport; Southport; Torquay: Workington and Wrexham.  Four of those were in the guise of &#8220;phoenix clubs&#8221;.  It is a real indciation of the movement and change in English football over the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignwide has-background wp-block-media-text has-very-light-gray-background-color\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"497\" src=\"http:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Team-Picture-1977-78-edit-1024x497.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2621 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Team-Picture-1977-78-edit-1024x497.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Team-Picture-1977-78-edit-300x146.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Team-Picture-1977-78-edit-150x73.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Team-Picture-1977-78-edit-768x373.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Team-Picture-1977-78-edit-1536x746.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Team-Picture-1977-78-edit-2048x994.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>The 1977\/78 Squad<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Back (l to r): George McBeth; Eddie Prudham; Ken Fogarty; Mike Summerbee; Terry Park; Peter Fletcher; Mike Rogan; Chris Lawler; Graham Smith; Andy Thorpe; Derek Loadwick; John Rutter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Sitting (l to r): Steve Massey; Alan Thompson (Player Manager); Mr F Summer (Director); Mr F Pye (Chairman); Mr E Barnes (Director); Mr T McCreery (Secretary); Barney Daniels<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Front (l to r): Trevor Porteous (Physio); Carl Halford; Peter Jackson; Eric Webster, (Youth Team Manager)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">I missed but the one home game in 1977.  It was the League season opener against Watford,  We were of course a Friday night team then, but the dictats of the FL said that the first game had to be on the Saturday.  I still played cricket in those days so the call of an Ashton 2nd team CLL encounter at Littleborough, (from memory), had my prior attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color
