Phil Henson became Chairman of Rotherham I think, Keith Hanvey may have gone to Ducie High as did John Thaw & our kid.

Where was Ducie mate? Sounds familiar - think my Mum might have worked there.

Howard White - carried off after about 30 mins of his only senior appearance, against Liverpool at Maine Rd. Both teams played a weakened team because of upcoming European semi finals.
I felt sorry for Howard White for years after that, having made a very short debut and never playing for City again. You're correct about City and Liverpool both playing virtually a reserve side and the attendance of about 17,000 reflected this. (I thought at the time that wasn't a bad crowd for a reserve game!). However, most of City's changes were a result of a catastrophic run of injuries which saw them fail to win any of the last 10 games of the 70-71 season. Key players were getting injured left right and centre and it got to the point where I wasn't too bothered about league results provided no more players got injured.
Significantly, Liverpool were fined for fielding a weakened side but City weren't. In fact, the team for the 2nd leg ECWC semi against Chelsea two days later was still missing Corrigan, Booth, Doyle, Oakes and Bell and Tony Book had to play in midfield. Pardoe was also a long term injury absentee. This of course was at a time when squad sizes were much smaller than today.

Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub are the unsung heroes of that team
Jeff Johnson was a welsh lad who Allison did take to palace he played for Wales u-23 team a few times
When I moved to Astley about 26 years ago , found out Jeff Johnson lived round the corner and was a taxi driver , after a couple of years I think he moved back to wales
