Helen Turner at the 1969 FA Cup Final

[Gary James]

On other posts I've posted links to footage of City from the 20s-50s, but have also noticed this:

It's out takes from the 1969 colour FA Cup Final footage and, if I'm not mistaken the lady at 2mins 30secs is Helen The Bell Turner. She's wearing a tall red and black hat.

There are some great shots of City fans and the goal is shown after about 3mins 45 secs from a different angle to usual footage. Near the end there's good film of Chairman Albert Alexander really pleased with the result. He is clearly delighted and leans over Princess Anne to commiserate with Leicester's Chairman.

This was sort of a launch event for it. They started producing decimal coins in 1969 ready for decimalisation on 15/2/71. It's a good trivia question - "who was first to use a 50p coin?"

Thanks for that Statto

well done Gary on the footage.

Lovely lady, heart in right place, used to look after lads on A coach during 80s 90s.

But a lot of people will probably be shocked to learn she was in actual fact a Man United fan until mid 1960s.

Mike Summerbee didn't look too impressed having set up the goal.... he looked totally disinterested.
