Great pre season games of yesteryear

[its a Barm]

Scotland when we first had kappa kit enjoyed a few good days up there, don't remember much about the games but enjoyed the " match day experience "

God knows when, away at Oldham, in the open end, pissing it down with rain got beat 2-0. Happy days.

I turned up there one year and couldn't get in. I'm sure we won by six or something like that.
Also, SWP scoring an absolute worldy down at Wolves.

I'm going to guess at 2002, Vuoso played iirc.

Good article on City's pre-season friendlies by Simon Curtis here:

George Weah's debut at Stockport County was a particular lowlight.

Who did we put 4 or 5 past a couple of summers ago? AC Milan?

Yes, in that tournament at the Allianz, ended up 5-3?

2005 Thomas Cook trophy, we beat Olympiacos 2-1 but I came away wishing we had the money to sign their goalscorer... ;-)

I think we got hammered 5-1 at Hearts. Utter crap.

Went to see us at Torpoint and Newquay. I think we won 5 or 6 nil at Newquay but at Torpoint it may have been 2-1 or 2-2, but it was peeing down, Nicky Weaver played one half and Tommy Wright the other (I was standing next to them!). How crap were we and how far have we come?

After a long close season I was a kid on christmas eve wanting to see City by 5 o clock vowed never to watch a pre season game again. :-)

 

[The Future is Blue]

Very early 90's I think.....few of us flew to Munich and hired a car and drove to Italy for games against Verona and Torino...remember it being up in the hills somewhere near Lake Garda for some reason for the Torino game.....saw the great Enzo Scifo play! Loads of blues there and a great trip....we all wore the purple away shirts I think!
