Roy Clarke the Cardiff and Welsh international outside left after signing for Manchester City at Maine Road. Also in the picture is Wilfred Wild, the Manchester City Secretary. May 1947.

Didn't Roy Clarke go on to be heavily involved with the running of the social club at Maine Road in later years..?

Used to love going in there before and after every home game. Always a warm welcome and really felt at home inside. Can still hear the pre match buzz now.
The supporters social club still holds lots of great memories for me.
Fantastic place.

My old fella and his mate took me in there as a kid sat me on piano, fantastic place carried on going in with mates into the 80s great place. Remember winning match ball in Derby once trouble was we’d been stuffed 0-3 Dad chucked it on fire. :-)
