Man City

[Lord Buckethead]

5 Things about 70's throwbacks Man City.

1) Famous for waving inflatable Bananas at Imre Varadi
2) Bernard Manning was such a big City fan, he instigated the infamous 'Blue Moon' mass trouser-dropping incident after John Richards' winning goal in the 1974 League Cup Final at Wembley.
3) Oasis came up with their signature gormless Ketwig look by putting Rod Stewart wigs on backwards.
4) They may be the perennial 'Everton' of Manchester, but Utd hate the RS more.
5) Former Nazi paratrooper (don't bother reporting me, it's true) and City goalkeeper Bert Trautmann started their 1956 FA Cup Final victory over Birmingham City with a broken neck, two broken legs, slipped coccyx and a crushed testicle.

Go!

Hi chico, massive club and massive scruffs!

Had a player called Colin Bell, and were going to name part of their ground after him,
it would have been Bell End, decided against it.

I just associate them with Shaun Goater, no matter what they do.

 

[COYBL25]

Those side streets around Main Road, where a dangerous place to be at midweek night games.

The pubs by the ground where sound.

They've become massive horrible bellends.

City Legend Rodney Marsh was named for the Essex Nature Reserve where his bird watching enthusiast parents conceived him after becoming excited by a Chaffinch.

Arrogant scruffs

Is it really less than 10 years since Mansoor took them over?
Lest their new fans forget - if it wasnt for Joe Royle, they'd still be in the old Third Division (where they were in 97/98)

City were formed in 1880 and the pitch was actually the main road running through Manchester at the time,after theit renowned captain Joe Bloggs suffered serious knee scrapes after inventing the sliding tackle,a decision was made to lay turf
After brief success in the 60s/70s they reached their true level and battled for the crown of Manchester against bitter rivals Stockport

Watching Souness bang in the winner in the Milk Cup final replay.

I was at Uni in Manchester and lived on a street next to Maine Road. The other side of our back garden wall was the car park. After the 1985 United v RS semifinal replay there was good entertainment to be had watching United and RS fans having a go at each other.

It was actually Kiri Te Kanawa,the famous New Zealand opera singer,who purchased the club just after City were awarded the stadium that was originally the crystal maze set on a Granada tv parking lot
