Huddersfield away in a 3rd round game. Bearing in mind we had beaten this team 10 - 1 a few weeks earlier. We went 1 up and cruising. Then the game went typical City and with a few mins to go we found ourselves 2 - 1 down.
Free kick 25 yards outlet of umming and arring as to who should take it. Lot of discontent in the away end.
Who picks up the ball.........bloody Gidman.
Anyone but him.....
He duly curls in a beauty........cue pandamonium !
Typical City - great days !
Correct. finished up sat in a puddle.Remeber the crutch thrown at the ref when McNab was sent off
Plus the 2nd replay when Varadi scored. Remember<br /><br />-- Thu May 10, 2012 11:28 pm --<br /><br />

The smell of pipe tobacco and the sound of Helens bell ringing. The green turf glistening as dusk fell and the floodlights flickered on. Watching the hazy smoke rise from the mass of bodies crammed into the kippax....happy childhood memories :)
You've got to be early 40's. That could be me!

Getting interviewed by GMR outside Maine Road after we lost at home to Bury back in 98. 16 years old and wondering why always us. Puts things in perspective really.

Brilliant story that matesundave said:My old man dragged me down to the Wagon + Horses in Handforth to see the cast of The Dustbin men off granada, it was cup final day 1969 and it was snowing and it was 8-o-clock in the morning, i thought he'd lost his bloody marbles, the cast and crew were off to Wembley cos Gerry was supposed to be a City fan and they were filming for the tv show, I told my dad I was going home cos it was freezing and I was starving, he said you can eat on the coach lad, we're off to the match, that's the one and only time i kissed my dad in public and he was not happy.
Food and beer on the way down, fantastic seats at Wembley, Nellys goal, going mental, more beer on the way back, Gerry leaning out of the coach on the way back and pissing on a Leicester coach and the Leicester fans applauding him, absolutely fucking brilliant!!!
And to top it off the landlord of the Wagon stayed open for us and we got home dinnertime the day after.
I fucking love my DAD.
To many dark days but here's a few memorable ones frm me:
City 2-3 United at Maine Rd after being 2-0 up - I cried that night
United 5-0 City
Robbed in the FA Cup at the swamp.
Alan Ball
Lomas keeping the ball in the corner.
Steve Coppell
Relegation to the 3rd tier and Gio's last game.
Losing to Mansfield in the Jonhstone Paint Trophy
Beanie
That season we went down to division 2 I was at the Stockport game, April I think it was, with only a handful of games left and we needed a win (We did 4-1). Goater put us 1-0 up after 5mins. We were still celebrating when Stockport put in the equaliser. I remember thinking It'll always feel like this.
Good times:
Maurizio Gaudino
Rocastle's debut (v Norwich I think)
City 1-1 Spurs opening game of the season Gio debut, I remember thinking he's a god amongst mere men.
Nearly crashing my car listening to 5Live celebrating the 1st of 3 goalsv Blackpool opening day in division 2
99 Play Off Final
Win at Blackburn to clinch promotion.
Kevin Keegan, Bernarbia and Berkovic
Signing Anelka
Last Maine Road Derby
Munich Anniversary win (I was in a back packers in a remote part of Oz no bars open and getting text updates from my brother).
The take over - Again in Oz no access to internet and Fox news not reporting it, I thought it was a wind up.
Robinho's free kick against Chelsea
Mancini
The Semi
The final
The 6-1

Remember that game so well..when the fa cup was mainly played on a sat afternoon at 3pm..we took a great turn out on the Leeds rd terrace behind the goal..you couldn,t get a more typical city match than this-as you say cruising at 1nil before it all went tits up. The party on the terrace after the last min goal was brilliant.
Think we drew 0-0 in the replay at maine rd, before smashing them 3nil in the 2nd replay in the pouring rain on the open terrace back at Leeds rd.always did things the hard way back then!
Happy days
Typical City - great days !

The recent cup and league exploits have provided many wonderful moments, but my personal fave was at Highbury on a wednesday night, my first visit there, we went 2 down fairly quickly and I was thinking(as you would) here we go again another thrashing. However Mark Ward scored a penalty on the stroke of half time and David White equalised late on in the second half, and that goal brought the house down and the atmosphere in the blue end, on that night will live with me forever.

Dennis Law's back heel. I was ten, with my Mum , Dad and brother in the Owed Trafford main stand. Pitch invasion, horses on the field, the works. Best feeling ever when those red bastards went down.

Apart from some of the more obvious I think Paul Powers goal in the '81 semi final was a great moment in a match we were perhaps not expected to win.
As an out-of-towner (though from Middleton originally) I haven't been able to get to as many live games as I would have liked but here are some top memories from games I got to:
1979/80 Wolves 2-3 - First game; couldn't beat first trip to the Kippax could you?
Leeds 1-1 - First time I saw a lot of aggro
80/81 - Ipswich 1-1 Seeing Tommy Hutch and Gerry Gow in the flesh
Sitting in the Platt Lane for the first time - seeing my hero Dennis Tueart in the flesh
Palace 1-1 First springtime game at MR; Dave Bennett flying; Cup Final a week away
84/85 Blackburn away 1-0; Kinsey winning the top-of-the-league decider; getting chased all the way to the station; first away trip; Alex in goal; their fat ballboy getting loads of stick
Boro 1-0 - Kenny Clements being back - could the good old days of the late 70's return?
85/86 - Beating Liverpool 1-0 ; who could have dreamed it? The "Great Escape" as Stuart Hall called it on the car radio. Clive Wilson getting the winner.
86/87 - First sight of David White (flying down the wing then slicing it into the North Stand) at 1-2 hme versus Leicester; booboys getting at Andy May.
Beating Sheff Weds 1-0 with a beat of a free-kick from Paul Simpson.
87/88 - Losing 1-2 at home to Oldham and the ball bouncing off the bar and in off the back of Perry Suckling's head!
88/89 STuck in the Oxford end in the 4-2 comeback; "Megson.. you ginger bastard" as they shouted. Watching Whitey's deflected shot loop in from a mile out. Ian Brightwell scaling the fence.
Beating Swindon 2-1 and Oldfield looking like the bloke off All Creatures Great and Small.
Beating Stoke 2-1 and Beagrie scaring the bejasus out of us.
90/91 - Beating Norwich 2-1 and Steve McMahon being signed.
91-94 - Trips to all the London grounds: cheated out of a win at Arsenal when QUinny's goal was disallowed; the cupwin at QPR and Whitey's boomer; Vonky-Vonky in the mosh pit there; miserable games at Wimbledon (train broke down - got there halftime in the rain; uncovered end; lost) and SPurs (Rick Holden - no shots I can recall - lost 0-1); first sight of Rosler in a 1-1 at QPR. Hammered 0-3 at Highbury on a sunny summer day under Horton and Uwe sent off.
95 - Seeing Uwe back four past Notts County in the Cup; Wonderful first sight of Gio as we beat Villa 1-0 in a glorious atmosphere; watching Gerry Creaney trying to play midfield against Rud Gullit in a 0-1; nearly freezing to death at Blckburn as Batty beat Immel from 35 yards!
Battered at Newcastle 1-3 with Creaney kissing is badge and Edgie getting sent off.
96 - The Newcastle 3-3 (perhaps the most entertaining City game I've seen; Gio kicking the ball to me!) Asprilla's head-butt.
96/97 Beating Brum 1-0 with the Pig Bruce kicking Gio all over the park; beating Norwich with a Dickov chip. The misery of 0-1 at home to Port Vale with flu.
97/98 - The Burnley pre-season game when Bradbury was gonna rule.
Sunderland 1-3, Kernaghan off, Gio great and shiteness all round.
98/99 - Lots of laughs. 0-0 at home to Wrexham with the girlfriend (how she enjoyed that spectacle); Macc 2-0 and Gareth Taylor; 1-0 versus Wigan and that red goalie messing it up; the unforgettable day at Wembley. horrible Preston fans spitting at our kidfans at Deepdale.
99/2000 - Great year. Beating Norwich with Kennedy getting 2 late ones. Lots of other games with the Goat banging them in.
2000/2001 - Beckham scoring after about 20 seconds as we enjoyed our first derby in years! Looking toothless in a 0-0 v Derby. Watching the Goat win it at the Toon. Seeing Tiatto's wonder goal disallowed v the Boro.
2001/2002 - Great fun. Huckerby bagging loads. Final day v Barnsley! Lots of games in windy corner.
2002/2003 - Great to be back in Prem. Watching Mr Foe bag a couple v Sunderland. Missing Shearer's first minute goal at the Toon as still in pub. Sun Jihai and the Goat scoring at Sunderland. Paying £50 to see us lose 0-5 at Chelsea!
2003/2004 - Barcelona in first game at the Etihad. Losing 0-3 at home to Leicester in miserable rain on my birthday.
2004/2005 - Child-rearing; can't remember it.
2005/2006 - Great corporate prawn sandwiches day at the Toon. Owen winning it for them. Sibierski headed an open goal straight at Given. Nice win at Sunderland with Sincs and Vass scoring.
2006/2007 - Horrible season. Horrible year.
2009/2010 - Burnley 3-3 and the away-end rocking! LIverpool 0-0 and nearly freezing to death in one sock in the snow after a booze-up. Mancini tactics boring the arses off everyone.
2010/2011 - The Cup Final!!! Beating Chelsea at home with a Tevez classic.
Beating Villa 4-0 and Balo stroking in the penalties. Beating Blackpool and making a big meal of it.
2011/12 - Seeing us batter WBA 4-0 as the pressure was off.
Wish I could be there on Sunday.
