Good point. I noticed that too. However, really enjoyed the film.When did Manchester City start to become known as Man City?
The shortened version of our clubs name was used alot in last night's film.
I could understand during the 1956 FA Cup Final that we were referred to as Manchester,because the other
team was also called City(Birmingham).
But as a child supporting City from 1966 onwards,I don't recall us being known as Man City.
It was always either Manchester City(particularly in print or on TV) or more commonly just City.
Even other teams fans called us City fans,and definitely not Man City fans.
Yes I agree with you.Good point. I noticed that too. However, really enjoyed the film.
How about the South Stand being renamed the Bert Trautmann Stand? If we can name the West Stand after another true club legend, why not this honour for him? He was certainly a great part of the club's rich historyI know there's a small statue of him but he needs a much bigger gesture of remembrance at the Etihad in my opinion. Real legend.
As a kid in the mid 80s I used to say Man City. It was used in Shoot magazine and things, and our songs. Then it kind of stopped again in the early 90s.When did Manchester City start to become known as Man City?

Yes, it was used all the time when I was a kid in the 70s, I'd say mid or late 90s was when it suddenly became unfasionable and people decided to be bothered by it.As a kid in the mid 80s I used to say Man City.

Would mid-late 90's would be when United really started pushing themselves as Man U/Man United? It's when they took the "Football club" out of their badge.Yes, it was used all the time when I was a kid in the 70s, I'd say mid or late 90s was when it suddenly became unfasionable and people decided to be bothered by it.
