That and the midweek match he scored a brace home to Liverpool, when we finally beat them, including the second which came down over the line, off the bar, and Saunders missed a late dubious penalty, always stick in my mind, was at both.
There was a tingle in the Maine Road air that night a David White once said it was his favourite Maine Road atmosphere
And smashing the Scousers on that famous mid week match 2-1( White got 2)
His 2nd most famous/ important run down the inside left channel was at old Trafford when he tore fatty Bruce a new arsehole and was brought down for the penalty which Captain Curle despatched with aplomp to spark the most incredible away celebrations at the swamp.
White was on FIRE that night. City decked out in White...packed the away terrace behind the goal ,and every away seat on the side sold out..City in full voice...we absolutely destroyed Villa on their own ground..Dr Venglos didn't see that coming ..we were absolutely brilliant ,one of my fav away matches ever.
Same here, that was a balmy summers night and a bit like the 5-1 demolition derby was the first time seeing us beat the dippers for me as a match going fan
City v Young Boys?
1 million per cent! Definitely up there with my all time favourite games.
One of the last great night matches at Maine Road.
I recall David telling me that was his favourite Maine Road match - Was a tingle in the air on The Kippax that night
There definately was a Tingle in the air on the Kippax that night.it was absolutely brilliant.id never seen City beat Liverpool.just loads of damaging defeats as a kid on the Tele,and in the newspapers...and then live..defeats.But That Tuesday night as we climbed the Kippax steps,
Yeah, great night. Think there was a bigger picture also. We’d been done over big time by them previously. And for a short period at least we seemed on the up, and they were going the other way. Finished above them in the league which was unusual at that time… Shame it all fell apart
