Another three dates in City's history when a win was needed on the final day of the season at St James Park v Newcastle and at Maine Road v Charlton....

City 2 West Ham 0
Fourth title
Although a draw would have done.

I remember being as nervous going to that Charlton game as we all will be tomorrow.
We had to win or Portsmouth would almost certainly nick our promotion place ... and we'd only won 2 of our last 10 games to go from "certain promotion" to "hanging on by our finger nails".
But thankfully we were 5-0 up before the hour mark and could just relax and enjoy the day.
Fingers crossed for the same tomorrow!

Barry Davies did one of the finest MOTD intro's as City came out for the Charlton game - 'the aspirations of a season boil down to the perspiration of the final 90 minutes' what a great day that was.

Maine Road was never as packed or as warm as on that glorious day in 85. Absolute bedlam when the first goal went in, truly amazing scenes
