Excellent night. Gary and the team from north west film archive have pulled together some amazing film showing 80 years of city history.
Highlights include 1934 welcome parade, 56 'bambi on ice' versus liverpool, trautmann in 56 as the proto-type zabaletta and Mercer and Book book ending the 70s with fantastic dignity.
Lowlights were the Swales leadership masterclasses and seeing just how shit Maine road had become by the end - the platt lane and kippax stands must have been designed by junior blues with crayons, using a brief to say they mustn't match each other or anything else in situ. Still, it got me nostalgic.
