On this day 1971

Re: On this day 1971

I was there , small kid , being carried down to the Grange end by the flow of fans .

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.

Re: On this day 1971

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

Re: On this day 1971

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!
