Maurice was there for his 50th
I was, but I’m baffled by the other 350,000 who claim they were there:hehe:Quote:

On the Grange End behind the goal leaning on the Boys Enclosure fence with my Dad, we must have got there very early to get that place..
Me too :thumbup::wales:
I was on the Grange End
I was there, Canton End with my Dad. Clarky scored right in front of us, if the net hadn't been there I'd have probably caught it.
On the Bob Bank underneath the cameras. A fantastic evening and a memorable goal.
Oh yes ...I WAS there....on the Bob bank under the gantry......not sure about 50th though...what was I then.....??? ... gosh was I really just 24!!!Quote:

Probably our greatest moment.
Got a great poster from an old friend Frankie of the away game where one player has sig6his name twice .
Any guesses?
Sadly Frankie has been unwell .
Hope he gets better .
He is part of the legend that is City fan's , before soul crew , it was just the nasty crew then and lots of em who loved a dust up.

I was in the Grange end started off with Big Frank and Dennis Baker etc lost them quickly in the general melee.
I also remember seeing Vic Cartwright. The only reason I mentioned this chap is because I hadn’t seen him for 50 years and recently found myself stood next to him at the bar in the Sand Martin. It’s a funny world.
The only other things I remember was the pushing and shoving and then the goal and the surge forwards the front.
I was 18 and knew fk all. I’m a lot older now and know even less.
There’s a picture framer on Cowbridge Road Richards iirc. Near Rees the pie shop. He’s got some of the framed Real Madrid away leg posters
Dennis, played football with him. Sailor in his white butcher’s coat:hehe:Quote:

On the Bob Bank between the cameras and the Canton floodlight. I was 15. I thought Madrid should have worn their white kit. I was a bit disappointed when they played in red kit. Well I seem to remember it was red, was a long time ago.
I was pinned against the back wall of the enclosure Grange End in my RAF uniform as I was back on air traffic control duty at Brize Norton at midnight, just about made it!
Yes it was red.Quote:

What a pitch. That was a proper Ninian Park pitch. It seemed to be like that for most of the 70s.
:thumbup:canton stand
Great footage and loved the pitch invasion. I couldn’t make it that day - I was swimming around in my old man’s ballsack
Open up the pearly gate?Quote:

wow who did they play in the next round?:hehe::shrug:
On the grangend for me. Compliments of my school games teacher who got a few in. Cheers mate
Really is something to tell people about. Not many, if any, fans of UK clubs of our standing can say they’ve seen their club beat Real Madrid. Us, who were there, are obviously dwindling year by year, it could be our equivalent of the last WW2 survivors.:hehe:
I once told a youngster i saw city beat Real Madrid and he pissed himself laughing. Should have give us a medal for being there.Quote:
