I was only 18 months old so have no real memory of it but so she could watch her beloved Blues my mum wheeled me round to her sister's place who had recently got one of those new-fangled devices.

No subs, no time wasting, no histrionics, no cheating, no VAR, no bloody PGMOL.

Those were the days.

That was Bert’s final…

I’m sure most Blues have seen the movie Keeper

The first time I saw City was the 1955 final on Pathe news.
I watched the 1956 final at a friends house, the first time I think that I’d seen them on tv. B&W small set. Oh what angst that all started. I blame McDowall for his brilliant tactical plan.

Those were the days.

No time wasting? Bert went down with about 15 mins mins to go, faking injury, so that the manager could do a team talk…….

Do you know what occurred during the 1956 final that had never happens before, or after it ?

And nothing to do with Bert ;-)
