I'm a bit older 81, but you must have done your research on the replyWell I'm only 69 so not as old as you by the sound of it
The Chron ended in '63 and I'm far more familiar with the Pink, and it was delivered to our local newsagent at about 6pm on a Saturday night for most of the 60's

I am pretty sure that Peter Gardiner was not the Evening News City correspondent back then. Was it not Eric Thornton at that stage?Well I'm only 69 so not as old as you by the sound of it

Yes, it was Eric Thornton for ages. I think it was Alf Clarke covered United - he was killed at Munich in 58, if I recall right.
Eric Todd was in the Chron.

Correction - Alf Clarke worked for the Chron, and Tom Jackson covered Utd for the Evening News.Yes, it was Eric Thornton for ages. I think it was Alf Clarke covered United - he was killed at Munich in 58, if I recall right.
Eric Todd was in the Chron.
Both died in the Munich crash. (As of course did my namesake)

Apologies for any confusion, I didn't mean Peter was the correspondent in '63, I was responding to the original post re Peter writing about United, albeit that no date was quoted. I said that Peter wrote about City, United was David Meek.I am pretty sure that Peter Gardiner was not the Evening News City correspondent back then. Was it not Eric Thornton at that stage?
You are correct, Eric was the writer in '63.
By the way, I have a '69 book written by Eric - Meredith to Mercer and the FA Cup which I bought at the time.
Totally agree but for clarification, was the green the Wednesday edition only available in Beswick, Ancoats and Collyhurst.Will you lot fuck off on a Saga holiday somewhere.....
