No. Wimbledon didn't reach the sixth round in their great Cup run as a non-league side during the 1974/75 season, and had risen all the way to the First Division by the time a Lawrie Sanchez goal (and a Dave Beasant save) saw them claim the 1987/88 Cup.

in the 74-75 nba season what was significant in about the retirements of jerry west and oscar robertson in relation to their respective teams?

After the retirements of West and Roberston in 74/75 their respective teams, the Lakers and the Bucks, fell to the bottom of their divisions.
 
Eddy Merckx set the a one hour record of 49.431 in 1972. The record was broken in 1984 by Moser riding a disk wheel, lighter bike and aerodynamic helmet and using blood doping. Who eventually broke the record using similar equipment to Merckx and by how much?

And after finding the answer give me an opinion as to whether Lance Armstrong is in the same class as Eddy.
 
Graeme Obree 1993, and he beat Merckx's record by 3.282 Km. I think this is right

Without doubt Eddie was the better rider, (not that I saw him) he won something like 1500 professional races, he raced year round winning every classic race. As great as Armstrong is, he only concentrated on the Tour De France. So Lance is not in the same class, but he surely goes down as the second greatest bike rider of all time.
