Being honest here, my first memory of a city game is an away game at Abertawe Town in 1959 (looked it up in the past, as I could remember Tappy scoring), but now you have put the list up, I am sure Trevor Morris was manager when my brother started taking me down the city.
Not just saying that, it just rings a bell. I can remember my brother going on about the Merrett brothers robbing us blind on crowd numbers as well. :thumbup:

All clubs fiddled gates in those gates - those 20k+ crowds under scoular were prob high twenties.
My dad knew Merrett v. well. Also Dewey. When City went up in 59/60 Dewey told him 'now our problems will start', meaning higher wages. Definitely a case of 'not really wanting to go up'..

His name is Jimmy Scoular
He’s the leader of the blues
We never get beat at Ninian Park
We never ever lose
He’ll take take us to division one be
Cos that’s where we belong
And when you see the boys in blue you’ll always hear this song
Darra darra darra darra ra.... etc

Jimmy Schoular for me.
I always remember being so excited when Frank O’Farell joined, only for him to clear off to the Middle East (I think) shortly afterwards.
Thanks for that Frank!
