20TH CENTURY CHRONICLE – 1903-04

The Matches

Under shrewd Scottish secretary-manager Tom Maley the Blues had been Champions of Division Two the previosu season.  Most managers would have settled for a season of consolidation, not Maley.  He was more interested in turning City into a highly successful, attacking team and spent the summer recruiting players of the right calibre and attitude.  One such player was George Livingstone who must be unique in that, during a career spanning 3 decades, he appeared for both Manchester clubs and bothe Celtic and Rangers.  He also played for Liverpool, but never quite made it to Everton to complete the treble.
