37 years ago today - City win the FA Youth Cup

[Axel Freed]

In a success starved period that was one of the great nights at Maine Road in my youth. Of all our teams down the years that one is probably closest to my heart, the one I feel the greatest affiliation with

And that was a Peter Swales attendance figure if ever I saw one.

50/50 split of fans in a 7,000 crowd. Piss poor turn out by the rags at home

I will never forget us singing, “we’re going to win the League to them”, in a manner that would be considered very politically incorrect these days.

Remember it well. Great crowd, atmosphere and performance. Happy days.

Went the 2 youth final final games and roll on 3 years to 1989 we were in Poland to watch England v Poland in Katowice ( the 0-0 draw got us to Italia 90, Shilton superb). Afternoon before we went to watch the England under 21's in a place not Katowice. Lakey, Redmond, Brightwell ( scored) and Whitey were starters. Sure Hinchcliffe was on bench and maybe Scott., Moulden or both Paul Merson played and Steve Bull scored 2 as well as Brightwell in a 3-1 England u 21 win. Apologies if not 100% correct but near. Mad trip, mad days loved it.

As I said on page one, Bernard Halford admitted there was 28,000 there
