Steve MacKenzie

[Dodge]

I've not seen this reported anywhere or any mention on this site, but Steve had a stroke on Monday whilst working on an IT project in a University in Leicester. A friend of a friend was working with him when it happened but I've yet to hear any update on his condition.

Great player and the scorer of City's "forgotten" goal in the Spurs Cup Final, which would probably have gone down as the best ever Wembley goal, had Ricky Villa not done what he did.

Thoughts are with his family and here's hoping for a full recovery.

That is terrible news I wish him a full recovery.

Get well Steve hopefully! A pretty decent player for us in a time of turmoil and you are right, what a goal at Wembley!

 

[Kompany is King]

Get well soon Steve.

I was there in 81. Great goal.

All the best Steve, the fantastic goal always gets overlooked by the media.

Get well soon Steve lad, we have already lost 2 of that 81 Cup Final team, and that is two too many

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

Wish him a speedy recovery, probably the earliest City goal I remember being scored.

Sad news this, Steve can only be mid fifties as he was only 19 when he hit that sweet volley in 81, favourite ever goal. Wish him a speedy recovery.

 

[york away to this!]

What a goal that was!! Hope he recovers.

Classy player. A great shame I missed that goal cos of arrogant spurs twats who were kicking it off in our end at the time. They were as classless as Steve was classy
