Colin Baker RIP.

Re: Colin Baker RIP.

Edit: just read the club website and think yours is so much better and far more personal and fitting. Also, as a graphics person, I hate the upper case font on our website that makes Ks look like Hs - just look at Baker in the title. Annoys me.

Thank you

Re: Colin Baker RIP.

I attach a match report of this game, which I was lucky enough to attend. It was an amazing atmosphere and a tremendous match to watch. City played extremely well against a team that went on to achieve the double of the League and F A Cup. Spurs included the following players who were household names at the time - Dave Mackay, Danny Blanchflower, Cliff Jones, Johnny White and Les Allen.

It is very sad to hear of the passing of Colin Baker, who was a City stalwart at the time. In the 1962/62 season he was an ever-present, playing the full 42 games for City. I recently had the pleasure of being the Manager of the Glamorgan Junior Golf team and Colin’s two grandsons Oliver and Max were regular members.[ATTACH=CONFIG]4401[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]4402[/ATTACH]

It was an amazing night. My father and I had been to the rugby in the afternoon and we walked straight to Ninian Park afterwards along with what seemed to be half the crowd from the Arms Park.

Re: Colin Baker RIP.

That was probably the greatest City win I’ve ever seen, City won 3-2 , Spurs did the double that season. The atmosphere to say the least was electric. On a Saturday night because Wales were playing home in the 5 Nations. Official attendance was just over 45,000 but it was nearer 60,000. Amazing night.

My favourite ever match too, what an atmosphere, only two other matches (RM&L) have ever come close but not as close to that Saturday Night Fever @ NP.
I agree about the crowd too!
