Forgive me for my gloryhuntingness but I only started following city in 2000. Ive done most of my homework on the history but what was the significance of this game?

Lowest league position in the club's history after this defeat, 12th in the third tier. The only way was up...

It was five years before I was born, but I was stood on the Kippax that day, pissing through a rolled-up newspaper.

I'll try and dig the ticket stub out....

No, I didn't start attending first team games until March '66. I do remember the big back page photo in the Sunday Express of a near-deserted Scoreboard End (they didn't need red crayons for terracing)
