What was unusual about yesterday's game that last happened in a City league game over 54 years ago ?
Entertainment?
I joke I joke.
Last time we scored a league goal against Arsenal?
No - though it's actually 56 years since we did that but as this was only our third league game against them in that time then that's not unusual enough.Quote:

No it's a bit simpler than that though part of your answer is heading in the right direction.Quote:

No - I think the Birmingham game in March had that happening.Quote:

Was wondering if we had a Spanish player score for us in the sixties but then remembered that Juan Cala scored for us at Southampton
No that's not the right answer although I now feel compelled to try and find out when that last happened.Quote:

Although I doubt that would’ve happened 54 years ago.
You're absolutely right ! Last happened on March 28th 1964 when Swansea beat us 3-0 with a team of eleven Welsh players.Quote:

I've just checked with the 88/89 Rothmans book and they have us 2-1 ahead at half-time. it might actually be the only game played where we took the lead three times but still lost. The scorers and times were:Quote:

I've forgotten it since then though. I'll console myself by saying I had to move it out of my memory bank to make way for something more important.
The Belgian end of season playoff format probablyQuote:

I remember people from the 70's for instance but I'm finding I'm forgetting current, really basic things, like calling close friends by another name! :frown:
