Today (14 November) is the anniversary of the first appearance for Manchester City’s first team of Alan Oakes. Oakes is City’s record appearance holder and that all important first competitive appearance came in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea back in 1959.

The City scorer was Jack Dyson who had been out of action for two years with a broken leg and related complications. These two brief match reports suggest that Oakes had a good game.
