What a wonderful day that was. You hardly saw a scarf until the goal went in then the whole end erupted. One of the great days of my life.

Too young to attend that day so how many blues were in the ground that day?

Judging by how many were at York - about 200 000. ;)

Were the City fans behind the goal.
Not much of a reaction to the goal.

Yes we were behind the goal but well spread out.

No segregation in those days.

Very scary afternoon. Relatively safe in the rag road paddock compared to other areas but dodgy outside before and after. Was worried about two mates in the Stretford end as one spent the bus ride to the swamp telling the rags about all the grounds in the second division.

I was born in 74, seems as good a year as any!

So was my son. I had just returned from a NI tour and this was my first game back.

I was at the League Cup when they were in the second division. Sat with my old man in the United Road. I realised what they were like even as a kid.
