I have the Evening Chronicle 16 page souvenir supplement on my office wall, with a picture of the team, signed by Don Revie.

This game is the reason that I am here, my mum and dad met at the game, and the rest as they say is, biology.

The Day I first watched City !!
I was 4 yo !! At home on Floatshall Rd
Baguley !! , The house was full as there wasn’t a lot of tellys around in those days ,

My dad was at Wembley, I watched on the tele at home not far from you, Porlock Rd at the top of Hall Lane. He lost his trilby when he threw it in the air at the final whistle. He came home much happier than the previous year.

Do you know what occurred during the 1956 final that had never happens before, or after it ?

And nothing to do with Bert ;-)

It was something to do with shirt numbers, can't be googling it.

Was it one team was 1-11 and the other 12-22?

There's a (Wills) Whiff of silly humour on this thread.
Willie Woodbine is fed up of being the butt of all this ribaldry...

You could just filter it out and concentrate on the match.
