Who was there?

[C_T_I_D]

I've read Colin Bell's autobiography on numerous occasions and I'm just wondering if anyone was actually present upon his return after injury against Newcastle United and the emotion surrounding the place? I've been told that there has never been a louder applause for a City player by a few around me.

may be correct i remember it being 4-0 think he came on start of the second half...but long time ago!

Yes I was there, the applause went on and on, it was an emotional day and a substitution like I've never witnessed since.

If memory serves me right 0-0 at HT and 4-0 at full after Bell made his entrance at the start of 2nd half. I was there but I can't remember if we knew before the game that he would make his comeback. It was the return of a legend that night, but he was never the same.
