My Dad went to that game. It was an afternoon mid-week match & we had a newsagents shop at the time. I was very young so he had to leave early to get home in time to help Mum with the evening papers. He left the ground at 3-0 thinking it was as good as over. In those days there weren't even any transistor radios, so no way of knowing the final score until arriving home. He couldn't believe it when Mum told him City had lost 4-5. Typical City yet again.An old boy, who's saddly since passed, used to share transport to the match with a group of us and if I heard him tell me the story of that fogbound Newcastle Cup Tie once then I heard it at least 50 times! Good to see others are still here who can remember it too!
