The next match was on 24th May and we beat Bolton 6-4!!

Didn't think you of being that age, EB. Be wary of meeting Wayne Rooney any time soon; )

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

We lost against Everton, but beat the rags 5-0 two days before I was born. I was overdue, summed up my life really until recent times.

Dad joke old as fuck !
1880 Ardwick
1894 Manchester City FC
Owt else ? ;)

No; nothing else. By the way; Ardwick AFC came into being in 1887 (the previous 7 years, the club was known as either Gorton St Mark's, or just St Mark's, depending what you read!). Last word; the club brought out that 125 anniversary shirt in 2019. So; they obviously only count the years that we've had the name "Manchester City". And yes; I am as old as fuck!

Ken Barnes scored 3 penalties the day before.

Fancy that. 3 penalties in one game. We just about get one penalty every 3 seasons nowadays....

Don’t worry I’ve got my pepper spray at the ready just in case! :-) ;-)

 

[69FACUPfinal]

We've got a lot of folk born in 1970. I loved that year, I was preteen but my goodness it was ace. Two cup wins as well, I foolishly thought it would be forever thus....

Rotherham away 1-0 win 4th May 1966 - There is a song about it I think ;-)

That was my 9th birthday.

13 Jan 1962
Burnley 6-3 City on my birthdate.

That 61/62 season was ridiculous for goals for and against City (F78/A81) including:

3 x 5 goal thrillers
2 x 6 goal thrillers
1 x 7 goal thriller
2 x 8 goal thrillers
1 x 9 goal thriller

Fun fact - My namesake Colin Barlow scored 6 of his 80 City goals in 61/62. Played 189 games for the Blues without ever getting booked.

 

[N1985]

The Aglonbahor hat trick, and THAT orange kit, yeah?

No idea mate was still trying to sell my Chelsea shirt that day.

The actual match

Okay. But that's not the same game you mentioned earlier.

 

[Bollo]

City 1 - 0 Spuds. FA Cup QF. Have a drop of that you lilywhite cunts!

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Born 11th of April 1967.

The 12th of April, City beat Stoke 3-1 at home.

My childhood City hero Colin Bell scoring a hat trick.

I wonder if anyone can remember the game, and Colin's goals?
