    I was there, Canton End with my Dad. Clarky scored right in front of us, if the net hadn't been there I'd have probably caught it.

    On the Bob Bank underneath the cameras. A fantastic evening and a memorable goal.

    Apparently, there is a similar phenomenon in the States concerning the many millions who claim to have been at Woodstock

    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.

    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
