Hey Wilf - I am going back to Easter 1955 - Good Friday 8th April - City vs. WBA - City win 4-0. Att. 57,000.
Next Day Easter Saturday 9th April - City vs. Sunderland - City win 1-0 (with a penalty by Don Revie IIRC) .Att. 60,000 . Sunderland had a reserve keeper called Dunlop (think their regular keeper was injured the day before when they beat the Rags 4-3 at Roker). Funny that City had 2 home games at Easter - Good Friday and Easter Saturday.
I am sure Gary James can confirm or correct what I say.
We lost the 1955 Cup Final to Newcastle a month later.3-1.
Cheers mate. That's really informative. First time for 60 years on Saturday ... wow! I think this could be our best season ever in so many different ways. Thanks again.
