Sadly, still the only time I have ever seen us win live at Old Trafford :(I think it was 89 Mike Duxburys testimonial, we won 2 nowt. City end was chockers and it was mental. Trafford Park train station was a bit dicey after iirc.
The one where Roy Keane scored the winner to make it 3-2 after us being 2-0 up at half time. Couple of Quinn goals if my memory serves me right. That big nosed French **** got a couple back for that lot and the ref was a wanker. 1993 I think.

Didn't make it to a derby until 2007. The one Geovanni scored the winner in and Bojinov got taken off early on. Tevez was also playing for them.
We had Kasper Schmeichel in goal for us at the time with Joe Hart starting the season as backup. I decided I didn't like Joe because I thought he swore too much during the warm up.

You have me confused now DWBe, I always had my first Derby down as 1961, at Maine Road, I can remember being on my Dad's shoulders in the Kippax towards the scoreboard end,I can recall Utd had a corner from the Main Stand /scoreboard end, the ball was put in the net by as you say Dawson who rose and punched it in the net making it looked like he headed it, I can still recall saying to my dad " he punched that Dad " no he didn't my dad said ( he was a rag ) Utd won the game 3.1 Maybe that's why I became a blue, cheating bastard back then, as I say I stand corrected if my memory is playing tricks.Can't remember the first one. In fact, can't remember the last one. But I can remember a reserve derby at Maine Road where the fat bastard Dawson was playing for the Rags, and gave Maradonna a dress rehearsal for his 'hand of God'. Clear as fuckin' day he swung his arm over his head and guided it into the net. Ref didn't want to know, the cheating bastard. That was the day I started to fuck refs off!

Yep, Nov 93. I met my wife a week later. It softened the blow of that result!

Steve Fleet was in goal and he sprinted after the ref to remonstrate, but the cheating bastard, probably Dawson's Dad, wasn't for listening. I shall consult my printed oracle. They did win 3-1
Edit: 4 Mar 1961 We lost 3-1 but it doesn't give the Rag scorers. Waggy got ours. I shall research further.
Further Edit:
Manchester City vs Manchester United
Division One (Old)Sat 04 March 1961.

0-0 at Maine Road. Schmichael in net for them, Adrian Heath skied one over the bar for us.
