If you click on "History" on the top of the homepage, then click "Players", then "50 Greatest Players", there are two factual errors.
Firstly, under Joe Hayes (No 17), City beat Birmingham 3-1 (not Newcastle) when Joe scored in 1956.
Secondly, under Bobby Johnstone (No 39), it says he was the first player to score in consecutive Cup Finals. This is not true - two Blackburn players did this in the 1880s and one, called Brown, actually scored in three successive finals (although the third was in a replay). Bobby Johnstone was the first to score in consecutive WEMBLEY Cup Finals.

just to put the record straight.
 
I like records being put straight. It puts equilibrium back where it belongs. As for Bobby Johnstone, some player, and I can still see Joe Hayes running five yards offside and shouting for the ball and some silly bugger passing it to him. On that day we didn't have Simon Beck's grandad running the line!
