City's Cup final win in 1927 seems ancient history, the 1925 final and our 1st season in the top flight in 1921 even more so, however...

I started following City in season 1962/63. We played Stoke City and Stanley Matthews was playing which boosted the attendance to close on 22,000. Matthews had made his league debut on the 19th March 1932, and that same Saturday City were at home to Bournemouth, drawing 0-0 in the old Third Division south. In goal for City was Tom Farquarson, City's gun toting keeper since 1921.

A long, long time ago, but those 102 years are not separated from now, just part of a seamless thread.
