Who said City couldnt play?

[Gary James]

any footage from 1937 around Gary?

I've not identified anything with the League title/trophy - there's film of City playing Germany (yes, the national side) in the Berlin Olmpic Stadium (1st English club to play there). It was, obviously, a highly political game.

Film shows City's Peter Doherty scoring, but at the moment it cannot be viewed online (I have seen it in the past).

I do know that the 1904 FA Cup final was filmed - including the goal - and it was shown in Manchester within days of the final. But so far surviving footage has not been found - I would love to find it!

I wish they'd still tie the ribbons like in the '34 video. Woulda stopped Tevez dropping the lid when he lifted the cup.

There's so a video where the 1937 team introduce themselves to the camera;

"hi, my name is Erick Brook, number 9, centre forward for Mancheter City... Hi, I'm Frank Swift, number one..."

This is one of my favorite bits of old footage, again from 1934.

From what my uncle told me recently 'who said city couldn't play' was actually a chorus and there were quite a few other lines. I think it starts off something like ...'at 3 o'clock the referees whistle blew, Tilson passed to Toseland and down the wing he flew.....who said city couldn't play etc'

I love this thread. Kinda backs up what I was always told by parents etc that in the 30's city had a huge following and united were really a post ww2 club

I think you're thinking of one of the FA Cup clips (there are a few for 1932 & 1934 - sounds like the one from 1932 - <a class="postlink" href="http://www.britishpathe.com/video/the-hardest-of-hard-luck/query/manchester+city" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.britishpathe.com/video/the-h ... ester+city</a> ). There are a few of these all very entertaining, but I can't remember finding one from 1937.

There is footage of Millwall V City in 1937 (FA Cup) but City lost (a major story at the time!).

Not quite as I described, very similar to yours. Some great shots of Maine Road on this one!
(it just says 1930's, not a specific year).
