Today (22 February) in 1958 saw a remarkable game where Manchester City’s Bobby Johnstone scored in the third minute but the Manchester Blues lost 8-4 to Leicester City. This is a simple report from that game. Were you there? I’d love to hear your memories of that strange day. Note the Arsenal-Tottenham match ended 4-4 – another strange result for a London Derby. To find out more on this period in football then why not read my series on Manchester City in the 1950s. Here’s a 2,200 word article on the 1957-58 season. Enjoy!
