City programmes from the 1960s

[stevemcgarry]

I was hoping there might be a programme-collecting Blue on here that could help me out. I'm appearing at The Lakes International Comic Art Festival in Kendal in October and I'm doing a presentation on football comics and cartoons from around the world. One of the things that got me into cartooning a a kid was a series of caricatures that ran in every City programme in the mid-1960s. Each week it was a caricature of the likes of Derek Kevan or Matt Gray, so this must have been around 1964 or 1965 maybe? I wondered if any City fan who collects programmes might have one of them and would do me a favour and let me have a scan of one of them? I can't think where else I might track one down and I really want to include one of these in the presentation as they were a huge factor in me becoming a professional cartoonist and I'd love to reference that. It would be really appreciated!

There is a Facebook group called Manchester City Match Programmes. Some of the people on there will be able to help as their collections go back further than that.

I'm currently in the process of scanning every page of my City programme collection before I sell it (no room to keep it anymore). Anyway just checked, and these caricatures were in season 63/64's programmes. I'm missing 3 programmes from that season but of the 18 homes I have there are four: Derek Kevan, Alan Oakes, Dave Wagstaffe and Jimmy Murray. They are high res scans so easier to email them to you so quality isn't lost, if you pm me your email address I will send them over

There is a shop at the bottom of Newton Street called Empire Exchange. Tons of city programmes in there if you want some copies for a few pound.

My mate Paul (big Blue) manages it.
Was in there a couple of years back and this old bloke comes in with a video he wanted to return, said he wasn't happy with it. Paul said ''what's up with it?'' and the bloke said ''it had men / cocks in it with the women, I wanted lesbians in it!''
Paul took one look at the cover and said ''It has pictures of blokes on the cover, no chance'' and off the bloke went.
He said that happens all the time, old blokes buying a film, taking it home, watching it and then bringing it back in to exchange for another with some crap excuse as to why it should be exchanged!
