Noticed Frank Carrodous name on there, who went onto play for Villa
Jeff Clarke centre back who went on to have a decent career at Sunderland iirc

Sad to see Glynn Pardoe at left back still trying to recover fully from that George Best tackle....

Also Colin Barrett who went onto win the European Cup and league title with Forest...
 
Was gonna post my video taken on the last game but dont think many would be interested.
Due to a slight over indulgence I was switching on when I thought it was off and vice versa. Consequently I have about 45 mins of the concrete behind my seat.

The first couple of lines of that article don’t make much sense. Unless my memory is playing tricks, the only previous time that happened was 1933 and 1934. Maxim built up over the years ffs! Article makes out it’s a never ending pattern.

I read it as relating solely to City but you are quite correct that it was framed more widely than that.
