Must have been Pogba then.......Just looked it up & I was wrong.
Not saying who it was but I must admit that as far as I can recall he wasn't that good on the day. It was 50 years ago, though !
Full match
No idea..... I think that the season ended earlier in those days. European competitions had something like 4 rounds and it was the final. It was the FA Cup on the Saturday, European Cup on the Wednesday and the Home Internationals the following Saturday / Wednesday / Saturday. I always used to think the Home Internationals were at the beginning of May.Very early in the spring to be playing the FA Cup Final.
Any particular reason @Mad Eyed Screamer or @Gary James ?
I’ve wondered for a while the logistics of that photo. Never joined the dots. Thanks for that.No idea..... I think that the season ended earlier in those days.

What is interesting is that when City won the Cup in 69, we were still also the current League Champions from 68 (hence that picture of Tony Book with the League, FA Cup and Charity Shield together! Sorry can't post it)
Leeds won the League (I think) on the Monday so for the two days, City held all three trophies!
Ha haSorry to say I don't remember the match personally as I was 1 day old at the time.
According to family history though that was the day I was always going to be a blue.
Thanks Dad,
