Old Man City Footage required for 1997/98

[dennishasdoneit]

Had a quick look and I can find the following goals. They are not great quality but are the SKY Goals on Sunday type coverage where they play some crap music in the background.

22/11/97 Man City 1 Bradford 0, also got the 2-0 FAC win v them.
10/01/98 Portsmouth 0 Man City 3 - Yellow away kit
21/03/98 Man City 0 Sheff Utd 0 - Ian Rush played for The Blades!

I may have more but I honestly forgot how many official and recordings off the tele done by myself videos and CDs I have, theres shitloads so will need to look further.

One of my jobs now I have a bit more time on my hands is to get the video tapes transferred as a priority onto something that wont perish as Ive just had a quick view of a few tapes and some certainly are showing the signs of time and are a bit fooked. Some are nearly 40 years old.

I used to buy videos direct from City in the 80s or even away clubs (when we won or drew) and Ive just played a few minutes of the 87 home game v Forest where we won 3-0.
Unfortunately Swales must have used the cheapest videos possible so the quality is shite but I can make out Ian Cheeseman as club commentator at the time.

Just made me think is it worth asking him or even Gary James if they have anything in their collections? Sure they are as sad as I am.

Let me know if you want these and if so how I transfer them onto something you can use, might need my lads help as I am no techo.

I remember that Forest league cup game.Paul Lake was outstanding as we smashed 1st division Forest at Maine rd.id travelled up in an old Vauxhall Astra driven by my forest supporting next door neighbour ,his brother who was looking for trouble outside the kippax made for an eventful evening.i sat in the Platt Lane with the away fans and had to keep it down....Great memories of Mel Machins young Blues on the march.

Thanks for finding the games, been searching for months. I’ve contacted Cheeseman as I met him at a city do. First he wanted money then changed him mind. Will try Gary James good idea. I’m happy to transfer onto DVD if we can arrange or you’ll need a vhs player with a scart lead to a DVD player that records onto DVD. Hope that makes sense. All my games are listed on www.mancityclassics.co.uk. If you Would like to contact me direct on email? Info@mancityclassics.co.uk
Cheers

Will send a pm.Ive got loads of games from the 80s onwards although Im not sure of the condition of them all.
