1-0 Southampton at home. Colin Bell with the only goal of the game. 1966. Anyone remember it? I don't.
There was a period of bad weather in February that year. City’s 5th round tie at Blackburn was postponed at least twice and finished up being played on a Monday night five days before the 6th round date when City beat Spurs at Maine Road.3 days after I was born we played Newcastle in a FA Cup 4th round tie and drew 0-0. It was 25th January 1969 and obviously we won the replay and went on to lift the cup.
Looking at that season it appears we didn't play a single league game between 18th January and the 4th of March which seems a bit odd. Can anyone of an older vintage shed some light on this?
Thanks for that. I thought it had to be down to the weather but that must have been one hell of a cold snap. No wonder I'm such a cold arse every February!There was a period of bad weather in February that year.
