It took him 3 seasons to get us out of Div 2 as well. And he brought back an aging John Charles as an old head to play at CB. Clueless! FWIW, his grandson (or someone posting from Abu-dhabi(sp?) and calling himself Aiden Revie) was posting on waccoe and said that after the semi-final he really felt like KB was building something his grandparents would be proud of and that he could see some of the spirit of the Don's early teams in the team that was playing at Deepdale.
