1986 youth team

Kompany next to Lake im drooling. also can imagine David White reading some of this and thinking "they pay 8million for Sinclair and they telling me i wouldn't even get near the SQUAD, cheeky bastards"

Tommy Muir had the five signed England U21 shirts, Redmond, White, Hinchliffe, Scott and Lake [captain]. #sigh#

But we have no history... CTID

Remember that match at Maine Rd as a very special memory. Stood on the Kippax watching five of our lads in an Endland match. No club or country conflict there then![/quote]


Spoke to Ian Scott, to clear this up and here is his response

" I only played for England schoolboys. I played 5 times scoring 2 goals, one of them against Scotland at Wembley "

That was the pre-FMC final youth game with Ian Brightwell, John Bookbinder and David White (plus Book & Pardoe). Youth Captain Steve Redmond was unable to play that day as he was appearing in the first team for the FMC final straight after.

John Bookbinder's story is of course quite tragic and I'm sure you'll be covering it. His part, like Steve Macauley, in the FA Youth Cup final is often ignored as, unfortunately, are so many unused subs (another is first teamer Bobby Kennedy at Newcastle in 1968). In the days before squad rotation and so on when only 1 sub was allowed subs were used much more sparingly - injury or a tactical change when absolutely necessary - and they often did not get mentioned or properly recorded which is a major shame.

Glad to see that John and Steve are to be featured in this book. Looking forward to it.

Gary, we should have stated that the rules of identifying the picture was open to everyone except you!!!

This picture has never been published before, it was taken by a City fan on the terrace and he sent it to the Bookbinders when he heard John had passed away.
The two players right at the back are Steve Macauley (left) and John Clarke (who was sub in the youth cup's first 6 games.)
We asked keeper Steve Crompton where he was and he said he ''hasn't a clue, probably waving to family in the crowd!''
It was thanks to my plug on Blue Moon that we got contact with John Clarke in Dublin.

City won the 5 a side game 2-1 with Brightwell and Bookbinder scoring.

Sorry! I'll keep quiet now, but untrue about the photo - it has been published on at least a couple of occasions. It's been in the MCFC match programme at least twice (maybe more, usually in connection with John of course).

Ahhh apologies for the slip up, yes there was a feature on John when his nephew was mascot two years ago. What I meant was, it wasn't a professional photographer who took it and it wasn't published at the time. Yes, since handed over to the family they have proudly let it be used.

I'm sure that youth game at Wembley was filmed. I remember being in the ground when it was taking place and have strong memories of the cameras following the action. The FMC that followed was filmed (and I used some in the interactives I developed with the National Football Museum - so if anyone wants to see any of the 1986 Full Members Cup final a small bit of it can be seen at the new NFM).

It might be worth contacting the TV companies to see. Pretty certain it was London Weekend TV who filmed the FMC as they showed highlights the following weekend (only a minute or two but probably more than this years City 3rd round FAC game got on ITV the other week!).

Emailed itv.com customer services to see if they can help track any footage down.
