Using City's History

[stony]

The history section is a fantastic database and a great source of info for all things City. I was browsing the history section the other day and noticed the 50 greatest players may be in need of an update. Not a criticism because I know Ric is a busy little beaver, just an observation.

That's probably the most controversial part of the entire Bluemoon main site.

Once I'd posted it I thought "shit, I might have opened a can of worms here"

Think you have a point Gary because I'm a history and a stats man and I still use MCFC Stats rather than the history section of Bluemoon. I just forget it's there because I always come straight to the forum which I have bookmarked. I never look at anything on the main site.

I like to read the History section but rarely post on it, I find it fascinating but then I love History


And City have lots of it contrary to 'popular' belief!! :-)

Many thanks for all the many hours work Gary and Ric have put in on our behalf, It is very much appreciated.

love it, found the team sheet for my first game, too young to realise the legends on show!

I've found it really useful on several occasions. Usually when I remember some obscure game from the past and I can't quite remember who scored or who we were playing. You know those annoying niggly questions that would normally haunt you for years.

Really is a great resource, thanks to all the collaborators who helped make this happen.

Thanks for pointing me to the History section of Bluemoon Gary. I didn't know it was so good.

I got Ray Goble's Manchester City The Complete Record as soon as it came out in 1987. My dad and I are on the first page of the list of subscribers. At the time, with no internet, it was a godsend.

My copy is quite tatty now. I still consult it several times a week.

Glad you gave Steve Kay a mention, Gary. He used to drive us mad with his stats, but I often think of him, wondering what he would make of it now if he was still with us. He was truly a lovely bloke and I think if his hard work could somehow be continued or included elsewhere it would be a terrific testimony to him. I think he'd have liked that. RIP Steve. x

Excellent link thank you.

I love the section because I have been a Blue since the early fifties thus I have many memories. Over time though something crops up and I am sure I know the answer but looking through the stats I realise that various items I was convinced I remember are perhaps not kosher.
Keep up the good work (ruining an old un's reminiscences).
