Inside Manchester City ITV4

[bluethrunthru]

Looking forward to it.

Does anyone remember that time City featured on 'Nationwide', an old BBC programme? I seem to recall it was a time of some optimism under Swales, but surprise, surprise, it ended in tears. I can't recall the exact year, sometime in the 1970s, or what the drama was. Or am I dreaming this?

No you're not dreaming this Ernie. It was during the 1977-78 season when the Nationwide was given full access. If I remember correctly it was a weekly slot and I remember Colin Bell being filmed running up and down streets in Manchester to regain fitness after his knee injury, although that could have been on 'Kick Off'.

I sent for a brochure that accompanied this programme - sure its up in my loft................ weekend quest coming on.........

The programme was called "Saturday s Heroes". And featured the team training in Cheadle at what is now Cheadle Town

Loved it. Couldn't help but be impressed by the whole set-up, professionalism and sense of drive and ambition behind the scenes.

Shame Shazza uses Canon rather than Nikon, but other than that ......... #motivating
