Maybe in Didsbury when the tennis courts were full and you had to play the round ball game.I remember soccer being quite widely used in the 70s/80s in England. There was “Granada Soccer Night” and “Soccer Six” on telly, and magazines and annuals with it in the title.
In Gorton it was always football and always will be.
The word soccer only still exists for our American cousins. I write software for the virtual gaming market, our American products are relabelled 'soccer' but for the rest of the world it's football.
Just checked on the OS, still says Manchester City Football Club.
