Old Maine Road photos thread

[yeseye]

Long shot - is anyone in possession of a photo of the City fans celebrating at the final whistle from the last derby at Maine Road? I believe it was Homes of Football/Stuart Roy Clarke's photo. My Dad was in it & I haven't been able to find it since seeing it years ago.

Not this one is it.

Love these. Notice no semi circle on the edge of the box.

Same here. Not much about them on the internet, but seems like they were a Salford brewery, somewhere around Weaste. Bought out by Wilsons in 1949.

Unfortunately not. Great pic though. No phones, just programmes and fags.

Bobby Shinton

Remember him, and saw him, but not from the photo. 5 appearances it seems. With the turnover of Managers we've had over the years, can you imagine how many players we've seen come and go.

Exactly, and funnily enough we seem to associate the late 70s specifically with the biggest turnover, when in truth, it continued throughout the Bond and McNeill era.

No, but Steppy was ace. Clapped the crowd mid-game once, when half the ground shouted "man-on!"
