Interesting silly City facts.

City are the only team to win the Premier League having been 2nd at some point in the final afternoon. And we've done it twice.

The first game at Wembley where players wore numbers on their back was the 1933 FA cup final, Everton 3 City 0. Players wore 1-22. "Dixie" Dean played for Everton.


City still hold the highest attendance record for any game In England outside Wembley, 84,569 in March 1934 v Stoke City. City won 1-0 due to an Eric Brook shot from near the corner flag. City went on to win the final beating Portsmouth. (My dad was at Maine Road that day)


City's lowest ever attendance for a league game was in 1965 at Maine Road, City 1 Swindon 2 8,015. Mike Summerbee scored for Swindon. ( I stood on the freezing Scoreboard end with my scarf and rattle)

Me, too! The City fans these days don't know they're born!

City are the only team to overturn a half time 0-3 deficit with ten men and win 4-3

City are the only team in the top one ( thank you Brian Clough) to not score at spuds new stadium.

So did the other assistant manager when Pep and his number 2 both had covid. Swindon in the FA Cup I think it was.
And Brian Kidd - 1 game, 1 win

Kidd only managed one? Who took charge after Mancini was fired? There was Reading Away which I know as I was there and someone at home. Maybe Norwich.

Thought Kidd managed both.

Before 1973 City and Liverpool won the same number of trophies. (8 each)
Since 1990 City have won more than Liverpool. (17 - 14)
So for most of each clubs 120+ year history City have been the more successful club.
(Admittedly in those middle 17 years they smashed us to bits!)

Was it only 3 trophy’s before they starting cheating with their Littlewoods windfall
Some history that lol

The correct term is outside of FA Cup finals as some FA Cup finals played prior to Wembley had crowds above City v Stoke.
One had over 100,000 at Stamford Bridge

You're not on Eggheads now you know.

City used to wear their numbers on the front, so the fans thought they were attacking.

Always thought it was outside of London tbh!

Still works I guess.
