I’ve recently been asked about two players who were on Manchester City’s books, so thought I’d post a few details about them here, along with the Reserve line-ups for both 1958-59 and 1959-60. These make interesting reading, especially when attendances are checked.
I don’t have much on them but the players were Sand Wann and George Greenall. Wann joined City on 25/6/58 from Luncarty Juniors (Dave Ewing’s old team too!) and left City on 9/5/1960, joining St Mirren. George Greenall left City on 4/4/1960. My notes are not clear but George either went to Oldham or Southampton.
These images show the starting 11 for every MCFC Central League game in 1958-59 and 1959-60:


In 1959-60 George made 5 Central League appearances and Wann made 8. In 1958-59 Greenall played 2 and Wann 4.
Wann’s Central League games over both seasons were:
21/3/59 v Blackpool
11/4/59 v Barnsley
18/4/59 v Huddersfield
25/4/59 v Wolves
22/8/59 v Wolves
29/8/59 v Sheff Wed
31/8/59 v Chesterfield
5/8/59 v Aston Villa
19/3/60 v WBA
6/4/60 v Blackburn
15/4/60 v Bolton
23/4/60 v PNE
