There was a long thread on this topic on Twitter a few years back. Dave Cocker was involved. The conclusion being it was an in-house design but no one knew a name to attribute to it #lufc

Killed his confidence and his value. We got £125k for him, a year after he played a big part in the team that beat Barcelona. Three years at mid table Cov and it cost Spurs £300k to get him

You must’ve attended the #lufc game at County in August ‘84 with highly politicised chanting and a pitch invasion which started with a cross-field charge at County then ended with a celebration in front of the away end. A favourite of mine from that era.

Yes and a league win at Mansfield Town which has also been broadcast on #thebigmatchrevisited - a game which I don’t ever recall seeing before and contained a signature Glenn Hoddle free kick that sailed past Barry Siddall. Pitch resembled Glastonbury.

‘Dear Mr and Mrs Limb, I’m delighted to report your youngest son is already demonstrating enormous *potential…’

They did. Promotion followed by the signing of two Argie WC winners is what I call a reset
