Your best day as a City fan?

Impossible to give a single 'moment' but here is a list in chronological order of the top ten matches I have been present at.

1. Wednesday 4 May 1966 at Millmore, Rotherham as City won 1-0 thanks to a Colin Bell goal to secure promotion from the Second Division.

2. Saturday 9 December 1967 at Maine Road. City beat Spurs 4:1 in what was described as 'the greatest show on ice'.

3. Wednesday 27 March 1968 at Old Trafford. City recovered from losing an early goal to beat United 3-1 to help close in on the League Championship.

4. Saturday 11 May 1968 at St James' Park, Newcastle. City won a pulsating match 4-3 to take the Championship.

5. Saturday 26 April 1969 at Wembley. City won the FA Cup 1:0 against Leicester City with a Neil Young goal.

6. Saturday 7 March 1970 at Wembley. City came from a goal down to beat West Bromwich Albion 2:1 with goals from Pardoe and Doyle and win the League Cup final.

7. Wednesday 29 April 1970 at the Prater Stadium in Vienna. City won the Cup Winners Cup against Gornik by 2:1.

8. Saturday 27 April 1974 at Old Trafford. City won for the sixth time in seven years at the Swamp (the other was a draw) with Denis Law's backheel and United were relegated.

9. Saturday 28 February 1976 at Wembley. City beat Newcastle United 2:1 to win a second League Cup Final.

10. Saturday 11 April 1981 at Villa Park. City beat Ipswich 1:0 in the FA Cup Semi-Final.

I have excluded all matches watched on TV such as the 1956 FA Cup win over Birmingham City, The two Wembley match of last season and the 6-1 Derby win.
