Manchester City 1 Australia 3

40 years ago today (14 November 1984) Australia visited Maine Road for a friendly. It was part of a series of matches against British clubs. City announced that the Blues would field a team of senior players but in the end this was a mixed team, containing several youth/fringe players.

The game ended in an Australian win. Here’s how the match was previewed in the City programme:
