1979 - SEASON REVIEW
COMETH THE TIME—COMETH THE MAN
1979 enter stage left—Tommy Williams—former player and long-time supporter—a man with a long history of responding to crisis situations. Extremely popular right across the board Tom just had the ‘X factor’ that inspired others to contribute. He led by example and everyone simply followed along enthusiastically supporting him.
The transformation within the club was breathtaking as the easy-beats started to grow teeth.
