Hello Ron, welcome to the forum...
A few suggestions from me:
The National Football Museum is in Manchester:
https://www.nationalfootballmuseum.com/
A plaque to commemorate that the English Football League was founded in Manchester:

Unfortunately you’ve just missed this:

Classic Football Shirts had a pop-up shop open for a few months last year, the best collection of old football kits in the world, would have been ideal to visit.
They still have their warehouse in Manchester, might be worth contacting them:

I recommend this book:

Would be good for you to speak to people who went to either of our 1970 ECWC semifinal games:
I’m 36 though so I’m not your man, haha. But we won the ECWC that year so anyone who went to those games or the final would be good to speak to, they might have programmes or ticket stubs from the games. I’m sure you’ll get a few from this forum.
Not football related, as such, but old tennis player Fred Perry was from Stockport and has a plaque to mark where he was born:

With his later clothing brand becoming a staple of football fans all over Europe, might be a good place to add to the map.
The Lowry Art Gallery night have some prints of some of Lowry’s football paintings:

Don’t know how famous Lowry is in Germany, if at all? But he did some famous football paintings in this country:
“The Football Match”
“The Football Match II”
“Going To The Match”
(This is Bolton’s old ground, Burnden Park)
