MC RISK77 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Not sure if this has been posted before but looks like this vid was only uploaded onto youtube last week, but it shows Roger Malone interviewing Chris Garland about the great escape in 1977 and footage of citys last 4 games v man utd, leeds, liverpool and coventry....hopefully a little treat for those who can remember it, The Coventry game was 3 days before i was born Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Brilliant bit of footage......I was at all 4 games! Me too, mind you I didn't miss many games home or away in those days. Looking back, what with promotion to the top league, plus Leeds away in the Cup in 73-74, I was spoilt for my first 7 years supporting City. The next 35 seasons have more than made up for it though ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousands apparently weren't included in the official figure. I was also in the East End and you literally couldn't move with the gangways packed and the walkway behind 6 deep. It was a swaying mass of fans that we'd only seen the like of on TV with the Anfield Kop. Even the Williams (Enclosure) was constantly surging. Took ages to get out of the EE after the match with thousands singing, "Coventry, Coventry, here we come." And go we did, 17 thousand of us, probably more. You're right that scenes like that will never be seen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
