The 4th goal that trickled over the line and left there by the West Brom defender when he realized it's a goal would nowadays be booted out over the half way line and the Ref surrounded by ten players swearing blind it never crossed the line. Ah well!!!

52 year's ago unbelievable, remember it like yesterday 6-1 win stood on the Kippax hot day and they played in all red.

Ditto mate..First City game I watched. I was hooked. Does that make me a glory hunter?

When I got the bus home after that game the rag conductor asked me what the score was. "6-1" I said. "Who to?" he replied incredulously. I just smiled at him and he took my fare and slunk off. He was seriously pissed off.

I was there with my brother, in the Platt Lane, only 10 at the time, long time ago, but those experiences as a kid, growing up watching City were great, we were and have always been a Top Cub, we have bags of history, don't let anyone say we haven't.

I recall this game well. I was convinced we would walk the league and win the European Cup that season. I wasn't as clued up on "typical City" in those days though we did bag the FA Cup.
