Do you recognise this player

Top right, Matt Busby?

Bottom right, Stan Laurel?

Need a miracle on those I reckon!

Bless 'em all, Bless 'em all
Bert Trautmann, Dave Ewing and Paul
Bless Roy Little who blocks out the wing
Bless Jack Dyson the penalty king
And with Leivers and Spurdle so tall
And Johnstone, the Prince of them all
Come on the light blues
It's always the right blue
So cheer up me lads
Bless 'em all

1 in 8 chance there

More City greats for you to identify

Top left - Frank Swift?

correct with Swift & Busby - I'll post the source tomorrow

need a clue?

could have been Italian? (his father played for us too)

he's also an occasional BM poster, interested in what became of Tony Towers

Dave Bacuzzi? The other one further up I think is Bill Leivers, I was outside Craven Cottage watching the players arrive and Bill came over and gave us a couple of tickets. City won and we were on Match of the Day but of course no chance of getting home to watch. I cannot remember if it was late fifties or early sixties, the latter I think.

Well that was wonderful to see.

The boots, the 'shin pads' and of course Maine Road in its very early years.

If anyone dares to say they wish it was like back then show 'em that clip ;-)

you can certainly see how they had space to fill it with 84,000 for Stoke in 1934!
