The song is all about Joe Mercer turning things around after he came to City in 65 (which was when we were at our lowest ebb Swindon home game etc)
We were actually in Div 1 in 62!
We got relegated from div 1 to div 2 1962-1963 season, ive always known that song to go 'in 62 the boys in blue went to division two, the stretford end cried out aloud' .. etc etc etc....
