Peter Gardner gave Jason Beckford 10/10 (as he did with every City player) in the 5-1 when he came on as a sub for the last 15 minutes and touched the ball a couple of times!

Great photos again @Fat Chance

Maine Road was such an evocative place. At least it was until the Kippax came down. The ground was never the same after the Taylor Report.

And we were absolutely right to leave when we did.

Nothing lasts forever, but what an arena it was when it was on its game. Charlton and the 5-1 in particular.
