White-Rocastle Swap

On this day (22 December) in 1993 David White left Manchester City after years of dedication to the Blue cause. He was transferred to Leeds United in a swap deal for David Rocastle. It was a sad loss for the Blues but it was also a new beginning for Rocastle.

We Never Win Away

On this day (21 October) in 1987 Manchester City’s incredible run of 34 league games away from home without a win finally came to an end with a 4-2 win at Bradford (the first of two consecutive significant results at Bradford for the Blues). Those of us there that night will never forget the feelings of finally winning away from home.

For months we’d been hoping for a win and our travelling support seemed to increase game after game as we waited for that victory. You just had to be there and, fortunately for me, I was there on this Wednesday night in October. 

It was however a tense night… Subscribers can read the story below, along with contemporary match reports.

Seattle Storm

On 27 May 1986 Billy McNeill’s Manchester City defeated Seattle Storm 1-0 as part of their post season North American tour. The City scorer was Mark Lillis and that season’s FA Youth Cup winners David White, Steve Redmond and Andy Hinchcliffe were in the starting 11. Other FA Youth Cup winners such as Ian Brightwell were also part of the official touring party. Here’s the starting 11 from my ledgers:

The 1990s: Curle Penalty

A Keith Curle penalty, in front of an Old Trafford crowd of 46,781, helped City to a 1-1 draw in a controversial Manchester derby on this day (7 April) in 1992.  The game was viewed as being highly significant in the title race as only four days earlier the Blues had beaten title-hopefuls Leeds 4-0 at Maine Road.  Leeds ultimately won the title, with City finishing fifth.

You can watch highlights of the game here (I was in the Scoreboard End Paddock, directly behind the goal, when Curle scored):

The 1990s: 1991-1992 Curle Signs

Remember the day Manchester City defeated eventual League Champions Leeds United 4-0 at Maine Road? It was a great day (4 April 1992) though Leeds’ title rival Alex Ferguson had incorrectly suggested City would take it easy that day and let Leeds win so that Utd wouldn’t get the title! How wrong (and disrespectful) was he?

Here’s the Manchester Evening News report of that game. Notice the Leeds team included Eric Cantona and former Red Gordon Strachan:
