1969 FA cup final, my uncle got the first colour TV on the street especially for this match, never seen so many people crammed into a 2 up 2 down in Rusholme.
For someone earlier, we brought the cup home next day & set off from wilmslow down wilmslow road to town. Still got a picture of us little ruffians on the wall in our 20p plimsoles & hand me down duffle coats.

Mine was the England game v Argentina when Owen scored that goal in 98, city wise was the Wigan play-off semi. I was at Maine road for the first leg (1-1 IIRC) at springfield park and vividly remember city fans basically smashing through the fence to get in the away end.

The world Cup final in '66. I didn't see it as a 6 year old but I recall all the adults shouting and celebrating at the caravan park in Anglesey where we were on holiday.

The first game I attended was the derby in 68 and the first time I ever saw a game on colour television was the FA Cup final in 69.
