Who Said City Couldn't Play song - recording

[Gary James]

On social media several fans, including @City_On_Tour & @FatToasty,
have been asking about the old City song 'Who Said City Couldn't Play' with a view to getting it to Wembley this year, so here's a low quality recording I tracked down years ago of fans singing it in 1934:



(if anyone can insert the media clip I posted on twitter in here for me then please do).

It's not the full song but should give fans an idea of what it was like. I won't be posting much on BM or social media at the moment as it's a difficult time for me with serious family hospital visits etc. Apologies. But if you're interested in the song, which was being sung by City fans around 90 years ago, then please spread the song.

There's a bit of it here....

Pep and the boys should make a proper recording of it and release it as a 45. An appearance on ToTPs and Cheggers Plays Pop would do wonders for our global profile.

Cheggers has been dead almost as long as the people in the photo unfortunately.

My auntie would sing that song to me when I was young.
She would tell me about the homecoming. But I only remember the song.

As a young kid growing up in the 1950's I can remember my mum would sing this now and again.

Yes when I was a kid growing up in the 50s early 60s dad came back from pub after a City win and sung this song to me,happy days he loved City and was in the record crowd at Maine road 84,569 back in 1934.

Have we ever had a satisfactory answer to the question posed?

“The Stretford End sing and the Stretford End shout,
The songs that they sing they know fuck all about...”
