Only club to win the FA Cup with a one-armed referee (Alf Bond 1956) officiating.

Guessing at this one - ECWC Final 1970 - first and (only?) time an English club has played in a European final which hasn't been televised live.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I remember Swales saying we could be the very first PL winners as well when we were given the first Sky live game!

Tbf I talked a right load of fucking shite

 

[BringBackSwales]

Did we win the toss?

Yes but it was overruled by var

 

[BringBackSwales]

Surprised nobody has mentioned the only player to score 7 in an fa cup tie and finish on the losing side

Tbf Alf Grey would have only had one arm if the Kippax had got hold of him in 1981

His one arm would have been the only thing left by the time he was finished with

Surprised nobody has mentioned the only player to score 7 in an fa cup tie and finish on the losing side

And he also scored one of our funniest goals of the 70s. And the scariest for those of us who were there.

By the looks of things, it was onky covid!19 that prevented us doing the treble in the same year!

I was there as a 14 year old, and I was very scared at the end and outside

 

[kinky's boots]

City were the first English team to play a “European” fixture when we were invited to Germany the play a select German league XI when we were champions in 1937.

Oh no... I bet we did the salute

 

[Indaparkside]

First British team to go to cas and get a champions league ban overturned booooooooo

 

[kinky's boots]

No we didn’t.

It ended 1-1.

Was there a free kick inside the box for a back pass too? Could be imagining it

 

[wattle]

Only team to fill York City's stadium 15 times over in one day

We didn’t.

England did when they played in Germany and so did the whole world at the 1936 Olympic Games.

We boiled a fair bit on 13/5/12 too.

Or, to be more accurate, a certain Agüeroooooooooo did!

 

[Bentheblue]

Our reported annual loss for 2010-11 of £197.6M was the largest ever recorded in English football.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

This is a tricky one, but I can't help wondering: are we not the only team to be 3-0 down in an F.A. Cup tie, have one man sent off, and come back to win it in normal time with no need for a replay!!
In the lower divisions there must be cases of this (although I'm not sure), but in the higher echelons?

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

We caused the highest temperature ever recorded in a stream of boiling piss.
