Pictures of City and United fans from the 70's

[Gary James]

These are brilliant: https://britishculturearchive.co.uk...ester-united-city-fans-during-the-late-1970s/

From the website:

"These photos by the late photographer Iain S. P. Reid about a year ago or so. Not much is known about Iain except that he was a photographer with a special love for Manchester and the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, who sadly passed away in 2000. The photos date from around 1977 and feature mainly young fans attending home matches at Old Trafford and Maine Road....The majority of Iain’s images have not been seen by many, hopefully they can now be appreciated by a wider audience."

Brilliant pics, shows how much younger the fan bases of both clubs were in those days

They had some good looking lads following them in the 70s, the rags

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Couple in there with Donald Francis.

What the hell are the butchers coats about?
Some seriously ugly youths in those pics, the majority are undoubtedly rags.

A few tartan scarves in there.

Also, why were all the young black fans Blues? I might have missed a Rag in there, but from what I saw, they were all Blues.
