Not personally no but it's a game my dad mentions frequently, shortly followed by the 10-1 home loss to Moscow Dynamo ten years earlierQuote:

Technically then I think we can say you were there. I'm not sure I can imagine City conceding 9 at home ever being described as my favourite game like the City fan who wrote the article. Sounds to me like you may have been in the best place!Quote:

My father reckoned for the game City had a new centre half - or a new formation and someone was being tried in that position for the 1st time..Quote:

The City had a problem at centre half in that stalwart Stan Montgomery had finished and it was not resolved until Danny Malloy was signed 3 months after this game. Gale only played a handful of games for the City and most were at full back. Wolves were a huge draw in those days, the previous home game against Bolton attracted a crowd of 25,000. The crowd for the 9-1 defeat to Wolves was 45,000. It turned out to be Colin Gale's last game for the City.
I was only 14 months old!
Who remembers City's 12-2 aggregate in the Cup Winner's Cup win over the brown-shirted, Norwegian club Mjøndalen.
City won the away leg 7-1 before beating them at Ninian Park 5-1 in the home leg.
I remember listening to the away game, which was played in the afternoon, whilst in class, my long hair concealing the radio earplug.
