Nogbad the Bad Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Wasn't at that one, went to a previous game at Old Trafford when City lost. Presumably the 'City reject' chant early on was aimed at Joe Royle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Wasn't there but remember hearing the result as a kid, and later met Mabbutt who was a real gent. So sad his career ended so soon, could have been a true great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Thanks for that @pongo88 Proves that our memories if not fading, certainly get muddled. I thought City were 3-0 up at half time and Man U scored 1 late in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Rumour was that Man Utd offered us £750k for Mabbutt immediately after that match - a huge amount in those days. We turned it down. Who knows what might have happened, both to Kev and to City, had we accepted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timh59 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Wasn't there, but still use him as my claim to fame - was told to man-mark him when we were at junior school (Henbury Court v Elmlea), and he scored the only goal after our goalkeeper threw the ball straight to him. Have lived off that ever since the hat-trick, telling everyone how I did better against him than Man United's defenders!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 That film was made by Jonathan Pearce's father who did a lot of them privately for the club, so I understand. JP may have been there with his Dad because he helped him on the match days. Back in the good old days when not every match was seen by an army of SKY cameras with multi angle replays. I wasn't there that day but did see the 1-0 win a couple/three years before when Donnie Gillies scored. In the First Division we had a respectable record about the big clubs. It was teams like Birmingham, Boro that we let ourselves down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Elmlea when Kevin joined the school in what would now be called year 5. I was just going into my final year - I'm 6 months older than KM by the looks of it - and had already had 1 season as the resident striker and top scorer for the school team. When it went round the school that one of the new boys was the son of a professional footballer we'd all assumed he'd get in the team - several 'Y5' boys did - but he wasn't good enough. So I kept Mabbutt out of the school team. Btw, Alan Dicks' children joined Elmlea about the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatchers Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I remember City doing the double over Utd 1-0 home and away,the season that the mancs won promotion back to the Top flight. We followed them up the following season I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that's the only time that's ever happened. I've tried looking for but can't find the ITV coverage of City's win at OT in 74-75.

His exact words were that he wouldn't cross the road to watch Bristol City. Tbf I wouldn't either in certain circumstances at the time, those circumstances being that City were playing at Eastville and the road in question was the M32!

Azed Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I was living in Lancaster and went to most of the away games in the North including the struggle up to Carlisle in, I think, 1975 but the 3-1 at Old Trafford was the best. Clive Whitehead at his quickest. Kev was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was after we beat them with a cleverly worked free kick converted by Garland after Man City had gone something like 17 league matches unbeaten. We more than matched them that day and deserved our victory so it was a rather petulant comment from one of the big boys. I had respected Doyle prior to that but that went out the window when he did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
