Worst ever Defeat for City

[Bbc spokesman]

Dirty Leeds away FA Cup 6th round 1967 Jack Charlton climbing all over Harry Dowd fouling him and heading in. Ref right there and he fucking gave it. I was devastated

It never happened thank god but at 0-3 down at half time and down to 10 men v United in FA cup I was shitting myself the 1-6 was about to be thrown straight back at us

6-0 away to Derby, or 5-0 away to United for me.

I saw both of those.

In those days I was just happy that City were in the top flight after the disastrous 1980s, so while I wasn't pleased about such defeats I was not completely fed up.

Always the last one ;)

My worst ever City defeat was v West Brom, 30th December 1967.

City lost 2-0 at home, and it was the first time I'd seen City lose.

I was eight. In the few first team matches I'd seen until then City had always won or drawn. I was quite upset.

None of City's fiascos in the decades that followed bothered me as much.

I was at that game and also at the Hawthornes boxing day just 4 days before,we got beat 3-2 they we're the only team to get the double over us that season but we still went on and won the title,they had a good side and won the fa cup.

I've still got the programme from that game. On page 7 entitled 'Mid-Season Comments' City's management and players gave their predictions on the top three positions in the league at the end of the season. Mercer, Alison, Hart and all the players correctly predicted that City would win the league.

My great-great-grandfather tells me about City losing 8-2 at HOME to Bradford Park Avenue in the FA Cup in 1946. Frank Swift and all.....

i feel your pain blue..67 the year i was born. can imagine all refs in england let a lot go when any of the world cup winners were playing, esp on their home ground, and esp at Leeds.
Can you remember much more about the match? gonna have a look on u tube in case there is footage.
