I thought it was 1987 so that would make it 36 years ago? I thought I was old but not that old!
Wasn't Super Mac, the Huddersfield manager, sacked shortly afterwards?
Then City played Huddersfield in the fa cup 3rd round and took about 3 replays to eventually win?

You're correct. It was 87, so it was 36 years ago.
We drew 2-2 in the cup at Leeds Road and needed a last minute equaliser from John Gidman. The replay at Maine Road was 0-0 and we won 3-0 at Leeds Road in the second replay.
Typical City wanted some attention so we lost the return league game 1-0.

Haha. Forgot about the 1-0 defeat in the return league game.

I remember the interview after with the three hat trick scorers. They were laughing saying John Gidman only committed the foul for their penalty to get on tv.
My mate was at Sheff Poly and I opted for a weekend piss up over there with 5 or 6 of us crashing down in his gaff
No phones, sky sports apps then so the only way to know the score was to watch final score teleprinter
It came up “Man City 10 (ten) Huddersfield 1”.. just in case anybody thought it was an error
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.. only home match I missed all season
Had a good night that night
