LichfieldRed Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Hi all, In this week’s “The Knowledge” in the Guardian, someone asks for examples of games with very early goals that finished 1-0. I am sure in the time I have been supporting City (31 years) we won a game at AG with a first-minute winner. Anyone remember the match?

PHILINFRANCE Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Bradford, but that was away. I seem to recall there was quite an interesting game against Portsmouth back in 1976, when we scored in the 3rd minute and won 1-0.

Swansea didn’t have a real touch of the ball either, just half clearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrick's Marvels Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Gary Owers scored in the first minute - City 0 Sunderland 1 - can't remember exact year, might have been 87. A night game, Owers scored at the open end, sliding in at the far post. Probably the year Sunderland were champions under Denis Smith. We huffed and puffed all night but couldn't find an equaliser. The rubbish you remember, eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckle_red Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Pretty sure Joe Burnell scored with his left foot in 1st or 2nd minute, I want to say against Luton in the Danny Wilson era?

The rubbish you remember, eh? I was still trying to get through the turnstiles when I heard a big roar, assumed we’d gone 1-0 up. Neville went round the keeper late on, slotted it in….well, almost, as the camber of the pitch made it drift wide. Joe Jordan up top, was great. Eric Gates was a nause! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DingleRed Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 But maybe the most memorable was 20th April 1976 against Portsmouth. Clive Whitehead on 5 minutes took us into the old 1st Division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promotion season under GJ, we were very good (at that level) at seeing out low scoring games & pretty much repeated the trick the following season all the way to the playoff final. An inspired keeper in Basso & a back four of Orr, Carey, McCombe & McAllister goes a long way to explaining that, 2 full backs who hated getting beat, an aerially dominant CB & Louis, who was pretty good at all aspects of defending..

The best back 4 we've had since we were a top flight side I would say, far from spectacular as players but were good at defending - Especially Carey who was an excellent man marker. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
