Film Of Trautmann playing & Homecoming & Revie, Clarke etc.

[Gary James]

I've posted this before but with the recent focus on Bert it's always worth repeating.

Worth remembering that Bert's injury had still to be diagnosed at this moment:

1955 FAC semi (shows a deep-lying Revie, Bert save & Clarke's goal):

This shows City V Utd 1955 FAC. Ignore the comment about Utd usually winning near the beginning (not factually accurate); watch Trautmann in action; Hart nutmeg Roger Byrne; Revie score; and Chilton get sent off for Utd:

The 1955 Final, showing Bert making a few saves:

Bert as guest of honour at a Ladies match (Germany V UK) in 1957:

The 1956 Final:

This footage comes from British Pathe, but there was also another company called British Movietone who filmed a lot of City stuff. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.movietone.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.movietone.com</a>

To access their site you need to set yourself up as a user, but there's some great stuff on there. This includes City playing Germany in 1937 at the Berlin Olympic Stadium (players like Peter Doherty & Frank Swift playing) and some great Trautmann footage.

In story 54628 Trautmann saves 2 penalties (near end of clip) V Blackburn, November 1950 (we lose the game but worth seeing Bert's saves).

There's lots of other great footage on there.

Excellent Gary.

I attended the Trautmann dinner on the Friday and it was great, managed to have a few brief words with Bert, Fred Eyre and Johnny Williamson.

Some great footage there.
