Lesser known / Quirky records City hold

[Corky]

They renamed the sixth round of the FA Cup into the Quarter Finals in 2016/17. City were the first quarter final, beating Middlesbrough 2-0. Silva scoring the first.

City scored 6 goals in the first 6th round FA Cup QF in 1926

The 33 final also gave the English language a new phrase, the match was on the radio and to help the listeners they gave out sheets with squares on.
The commentator( a young Martin Tyler) pinpointed exactly where on the grid the ball was thus back to square one.
Now I might be making all of this up.
I also seem to remember Stan Horne's first 3 games were in 3 different Countries, Scotland, England and Wales. Not very exotic but notable.

Do you still wear the city of Manchester badge on your shirts in cup finals?

My favourite quirky fact is the sheffield wed v City game 89-90 season was the last top flight game in England not to be filmed due to the camera man getting the time of the game wrong

Lowest number of home league goals scored in a season - 10 - under Psycho (though I blame Beanie).

I wouldn’t. It had more tactical nous than Pearce.

If this is the game I'm thinking of it was an early kick off on NYD. No idea how but we watched this from the back of the home Kop. Dire game and defeat iirc so wish I'd missed it too :)

No mate.

We had them at the bottom of our numbers in 2011 but nothing since.

Which is a shame as it was a club tradition, one we should have stuck to.

Apparently we hold the Premier League record for the quickest team to lead 5-0, which we did in 18 minutes v Watford earlier this season.

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.

Germans sports washing just before invading Poland.
