On this day (10 November 1979) City beat United 2-0 at Maine Road with goals from Tony Henry and Mike Robinson. United players Kevin Moran and Mickey Thomas are seen on this photo with Polish World Cup star Kaziu Deyna. Video of the game can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXExWITEtdI
Back in 2003 I wrote this profile of former Manchester City player and Polish World Cup star Deyna. He was such an important and unusual signing at the time he joined City in November 1978 that I feel this article is still appropriate and of interest to subscribers to my blog today.
