It’s finally online-the Peter Swales video we’ve been waiting for P31

From this 1981 Granada TV documentary for anyone who hasn’t seen it


I have watched that documentary so many times, it represents my first city memories as an 8 year old and it is a must watch for fans young and old. Once you see it you get it, you get City. We are not a small club that got lucky, we are a big club that got unlucky. Unlucky to have Swales as chairman from 1973 to 1993, a 20 year tenure that took nearly as long to get over. As far as I am concerned the last 10 years have been karma and reward for being the greatest fanbase in English football. What happened to Liverpool in the early 70s or United in the early 50s could have been us, except it wasn’t. Our Phoenix from the Flames was in early 2010s, just the same way we had to suck it from the rags and the dippers they have to from us now.
