Long Forgotten Testimonials

I was there, too, because I remember shaking Quinny's hand, and congratulating him on his recent hat-trick against Palace.

I was at that Palace game ,City In all white, Quinn bagged the perfect hatrick,left foot, right foot and a typical header.

Stood on the Kippax with at least 2,000 other City fans for Paul Power’s testimonial.

Never understood the hate he got from sone quarters. Great club servant and very good footballer.

And just like Ian Bowyer ,another City boo boy, he left, and picked up the only league title winners medal of his career,with Everton.

I think the Roy Clarke game was in 73 as the game also celebrated 50 years at Maine Road. I remember Trautmann making a cameo appearance in goal when he must have been as old as the stadium.

The Roy Clarke testimonial was 1976, I still have the programme.

Not quite testimonial territory...so please bump or move as required....... but dies anyone remember the pre season tournament we played at Maine Rd, late 80s, Us, Utd, Athletics Minero and PSV, had completely dropped my mind until this moment. From what I recall it was all played in one day'

Yeah did both nights, my main memory of it is the ref advising our bench to take Paul Stewart off after he clattered some rag player rather than send him off.....and a well taken goal by the Brazilian team.

He'd played I think in the foc Manchester v Merseyside half-time kickabout and asked to stay on, made a belting save in front of the North Stand.

You are right. My sister ( who has a better memory than me ) says the 50 years of Maine Road game was the Johnny Hart testemonial at the end of the 73/74 season. Just after the scum had been relegated !

My first City game was Eric Nixon's testimonial at Tranmere in 2002. Does anyone have any more info than this?
