Loved that season , the kippax was being done up so I had a season ticket on back row of the North Stand, just as it curved toward the main stand, the atmosphere in there that season was brilliant, the games vs West Ham / Everton & Spurs standoutSure its been mentioned but the Liverpool home match in 1991. Great atmosphere, two David White goals, and a bit of ‘shot over the line controversy’. Funny, as a 15 year old I was quite obsessed with attendances and so was delighted with the crowd of 37 thousand plus, funny we get criticised for that now.
Also first two home matches of Brian Horton season 93/94? We beat West Ham and Everton 3-0 and 4-0. Beagrie was full of tricks with Walsh tormenting the centre halfs with his movement.

Was the other club Huddersfield? I remember they had a decent side and then there was a fire sale. Think Steve Bruce was the boss.
A lot of it was fuelled by their then manager George Burley, who seemed to have a weird hatred of City and Joe Royle. He was forever running his mouth in the press about us supposedly being a lucky team who played hoofball.
He doesn’t appear to have been employed anywhere since 2012, the year we won our first Premier League title, which has a nice symmetry to it
Haha yes, forgot that!The choice of successor also made me smile after Burley spent a lot of money following his initial good season in the PL at Ipswich, got them relegated with a poor squad and was fired the following season with them going nowhere in the league and financially screwed. They needed a firefighter who could forge a decent team from little in the way of resources, and turned to one Joe Royle to sort out Burley's mess.

I can’t remember what day it is tomorrow but I’m fairly good on my peak City years! That game was the bollocks, White and Vonk in front of thousands of Blues going ballistic, Motson was the commentator on MOTD. Les Ferdinand missing a fucking sitter as it rolled across the 6 yard box.Man, your mind plays tricks
Or maybe I was an early leaver even back then :-D
