Vinny's header in the 1-0.

 

[Mike N]

Sergio at home when he was facing the North Stand and netting in the South Stand!

Colin Bell’s equaliser in 1968 to set up the 3-1 win

Yes at the scoreboard end,1-1 half time then Heslop and Lee pen.

 

[Thomas Hearns]

Must have been stood next to me! Was just about to say the same thing... I was right in line, knew it was going in straight away

I’ve never met anybody who was at that game who wasn’t right in line with Bob’s shot. Must’ve been 5000 of us all stood on the same spot !

I was stood with all the rag supporters (trying to keep quiet) just slightly up from the dug outs. I was directly in line behind the shot & could not hold the emotion in when it hit the back of the net.. it was only then i realised i was amongst about 200 other City fans who were also celebrating.
We all then sort of merged together for the rest of the match, no trouble just a load of rags giving us dirty looks.

That one from George was a real collector’s piece. He scored very few for City.

Didn't Mike Doyle also score a powerful header late 60s in front of the Stretford and..and celebrated right in front of them..
And I'm pretty sure Franny Lee smashed a few penalties at 100 miles an hour into the rags net..same late 60s/early 70s era..

Was just about to post the same.
Funny how memory can play tricks. .
Fwiw. ..I too was right in line with Brightwells shot"
And what a celebration afterwards

Yes Doyle did score at OT in the 4-1 win 1970 the day Pardoe was stretchered off,Lee got 3 one with his left one with his right and headed one,proper hat trick I was at that game it's also on you tube.

If you have a look at the Youtube footage of the game the camera pans around to the dugouts where you can see loads of City jumping about celebrating so you might see yourself ?

''Shaunny Wright Wright Wright......''

 

[Franny 1234]

Bob Brightwell's equaliser in 1990 at the shitpit was truly a screamer. How the fuck we had to wait until 2008 for a win there I will never know!

I JUST WELLIED IT.
Classic goal from our BOB.

Yeah, but I was. :-) (Distant relation was a season ticket holder in the corner of the North/Main stands & couldn't go, so offered ticket to me!)

Wasn't at York though. :-)

Bloody hell you must have shown some restraint trying to stay undercover not celebrating that one. What a hit, could we have nearly won it towards the end didn’t White or Wayne Biggins nearly nick one?

 

[StrangewaysHereWeCome]

"Chance at the far post." Close to perfection. Ball over the top, volleyed cross, Hinchcliffe planting that header into the net.

 

[Sir peace frog]

Ah yes, the Phil Jones/Beaker moment.

haha people have a go at beaker and rightly so,however on closer inspection Sergio is doing a bit of gurning as well haha

Alex Harley's last minute winner at Old Trafford in a 3-2 win, 1962. Ran from the halfway line and lifted it over the diving Gaskell.The only time I've been to the Swamp!

I was there for that too .... halcyon days - for one season I think.

My last trip was the 1968 1-3 after going 1 down in less than a minute. King Colin got injured and missed a few games in the run in.

Great memories.
