Great effort. Well done.

Great effort. Well done.

It must be my age... I can clearly remember more of them now than I can players from the 70s and 80s!

Alf Wood and Dave Shawcross?

Yes, 99% certain that's correct. I remember getting Derek Kevan's autograph once, he had a great partnership with Jimmy Murray at the time.

I can remember some better than those from the 2010s!

That team arguably represented the low point for City in the 1960s. There were three of them there in the great team from 1966-71 - Oakes, Pardoe, Dowd - plus a couple of bit part players in Murray and Kennedy.

For me David Shawcross was the main lost talent for City from that team. He always looked a class act. He seems to have been badly affected by injury as he only played 47 matches for City in seven season before leaving for Stockport aged 24. I didn’t see much of him at his best but others felt that he could have developed into a top class player without the injury issues.

Kevan and Murray ran riot in a double header versus Scunthorpe at Christmas. Loved those socks.

Yes 8-1 then 4-2 at the Old Show Ground.
