I'm just looking at a huge collection of his old programmes and one from 1961 City v Spurs (7.00pm Saturday KO too) has Baker up against Blanchflower. That must have been some game.

298 appearances for City. And as TOBW mentions, one club man. Rare indeed.

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.
