Looking at the dates my dad could only go by the games for City up to 1939 when he marched with the Manchester Regiment from Ardwick Green to the old London Road station and that was him gone for over 6 years. So PD must have made some impression. 6 of us had season tickets last year so l am glad he did.My dad too used to wax lyrical about Peter Doherty. My dad is 90 now and luckily got to see our recent past and still puts Doherty above them.
The point we got that day secured our promotion, even if Morley hadn’t scored the following week.Still have nightmares about the Bournemouth game... the conga on the Kippax at HT was a good laugh though!
One thing that frequently gets overlooked about Doherty is how much of his career was taken from him by WW2, having just turned 26 when war was declared.My dad too used to wax lyrical about Peter Doherty. My dad is 90 now and luckily got to see our recent past and still puts Doherty above them.
Brilliant my dad would have been 90 2 month's ago sadly he passed away aged 60. A city mate at work dad passed away when we were at our lowest ebb 13th in the 3rd tier enjoy it while it lasts one life one love one CITYMy dad too used to wax lyrical about Peter Doherty.

No one ever saw it that way, we didn't know Palace had also conceded a last min pen until we we in the tunnel.The point we got that day secured our promotion, even if Morley hadn’t scored the following week.
Xmas day 1940 and several teams played twice on the same day. Most spectacular turnaround was Leicester losing 5-2 at Northampton in the morning, then Northampton lost 7-2 at Leicester in the afternoon.I know it's not quite the same, but I think our most spectacular disaster was the FA Cup tie with Luton abandoned due to the weather 6-2 up at the time, with Denis Law scoring them all, and we ended up losing 3-1, and DL scored our goal again, 3 days later.
Only we could manage a turn round like that.
To Leicester iirc.No one ever saw it that way, we didn't know Palace had also conceded a last min pen until we we in the tunnel.
I only partly blame them for mine!That thought didnt cross my mind at the end of the game whilst bladdered in the Main Stand, i blame City for all my alcohol issues.
