- 1975–76_Manchester_United_F.C._season abstract "The 1975–76 season was Manchester United's 73rd season in the Football League. They finished the season third in the First Division (their highest placing since 1968 ) to qualify for the 1976–77 UEFA Cup, and also reached the FA Cup Final where they lost 1-0 to Southampton at Wembley.In the space of little over a year, Tommy Docherty had transformed a club that was on its knees into one that arrived back in Division One on the crest of a wave, having breezed to the Second Division title the previous season. Ultimately it was United's inexperience at the top level that would leave them just short of major honours. Nevertheless, they earned a reputation as 'crowd pleasers', with no less an authority than Bill Shankly describing them as "wonderfully entertaining little boys...Tommy Docherty's sitting on a goldmine."United made the perfect start to the new season with two late goals by Lou Macari giving them victory at Wolves. Three days later at Birmingham, with the score goalless, they lost keeper Alex Stepney to a freak injury - a dislocated jaw sustained while shouting orders at his defence. Brian Greenhoff took his place in goal, but United overcame the hurdle to secure a second successive 2-0 away win thanks to a Sammy McIlroy brace. United were rampant and a 5-1 win over Sheffield United in their opening home match left them sitting top of the League with a 100% record from three matches.It was seven matches before United suffered their first defeat, an early David Webb goal giving QPR the points at Loftus Road, although Stepney saved a Stan Bowles penalty in the second half. This match was the precursor to a run of only one win in five, with away results becoming somewhat indifferent as United's defensive shortcomings became increasingly apparent. By late November they had lost five times on their travels, but home form remained strong and their youthful exuberance continued to win them admirers wherever they went.Before Christmas, extrovert winger Gordon Hill signed from Millwall for £70,000, and his arrival provided a shot in the arm as United embarked on a run of 24 matches in League and Cup with only one defeat. They ended the year in second place, level on points with leaders Liverpool, and had returned to the top of the table by the end of January, remaining title contenders until the final few matches. A 3-0 defeat at Ipswich at the start of April proved costly, and United's challenge ended 11 days later when a goal by Stoke's Alan Bloor inflicted their one and only home defeat of the season.Further disappointment was to follow. Having reached the FA Cup final for the first time since 1963, United were overwhelming favourites to take the trophy against Second Division Southampton, but they surprisingly lost courtesy of an 83rd minute goal by Bobby Stokes.".
