To clarify the Ken Barnes penalty item - he's not the only one to do so. Charlie Mitten scored a hat-trick of penalties for Man Utd v Aston Villa in 1950. Barnes (1957) may be the last player to do so, though ( v Everton)
3 pens against us...Meh!

First team to win the league title 40 years before they were founded!
Seriously we are still the only reigning top flight champions to be relegated (and were still the top scorers in the division that season).
Are we the only team to have scored and conceded 100 goals or more in the same season?

City (and Everton) were the first team(s) to wear numbers on the back of their shirts, in the 1933 FA Cup final.
Strangely the number were Everton 1-11, City 12-22

1933 was the first FA cup final were the teams walked out together as well
There is an old newsreel clip of the final and I am sure it calls our teams neighbours and rivals at the start. Must dig it out

Made up facts, or the "," is in the wrong position. We have no history, muppet.Read an old post from Gary James recently where he mentioned that City have held the highest English attendance at their own club ground since 1924 with a 74,000+ crowd and then broke our own record crowd in 1934 with the 84,569 crowd against Stoke, which still stands.

United won the League in 1908 and then the FA Cup in 1909. Their ground at the time was at Bank Street,Clayton, Manchester.Has any other team from Manchester ever won a major trophy?
(Where the Velodrome car park is now apparently).
They didn't move to Old Trafford until 1910. So the anwer to your question is yes,1 other team from Manchester has one a major trophy(or two).
