Southstandoriginal Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 51 minutes ago, brizzlelou said: What date was this? A bit of research would seem to show that this was from the programme of the Charlton match on 23/9/69, which we won 6-0. The match on the previous Saturday that the article refers to was a 4-0 win over Norwich. Not a bad few days!
brizzlelou Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 I have an entire scrap book of every article written on City since about 1900 so if anybody would like anymore like these then feel free and ill post a few if you'd like. The last entry was last year though.

22A Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 City beat Norwich 4-0 on the Saturday, Charlton 6-0 on the Tuesday and then drew 1-1 at Millwall on the next Saturday. That Charlton game was the first time City had scored a penalty since AD became Manager two (?) years before. I was at that game, but fellow old 'uns, please correct if my memory is wrong. The abuse against AD was due I believe that before the goals went in Jantzen Derrick appeared to be the only player actually trying to do something. When he was substituted, the fans became angry and the abuse started. Can't prove it now, but I was once told Chris Garland would never pass the ball to Jantzen Derrick.

slartibartfast Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Remember the game well.................Skirton was getting the bird first half, but tore Norwich a new one after the break. I seem to remember he scored and gave the crowd the "V"s ! I don't remember a demo against AD though.

42nite Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Can you put up something prior and after 'that' Coventry game? My favourite City game of all time! I have a programme, but no press cuttings. (I remember the 6-0 v Charlton)

Its really cool because it has the old fashioned adverts as well. Worth a read alone!
42nite Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Cant help on the date I'm afraid. The programme's at home 6000 miles away. But, this is OTIB, I'm sure help won't be long arriving.

Never to the dark side Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Would you have two articles I am after? Glyn Riley 1982 to 1987 when jed Pitman put together all his goals that he had scored for city AFTER his Partner taped over the goals that Glyn Riley had compiled himself Not sure about the date though The other one was circa 24 may 1986 when we played Bolton in the Leyland cup A city fan in Australia asked some one to ring them and connect the phone to the radio so they could hear the game in Australia Expensive but cheaper than flying to the U.K.

Reminds me of the sort of picture they used to use in the Spot the Ball competition. Regarding the OP, I was saying this when the criticism of Johnson was at it's highest, the board would have crumbled and given in to the crowd if it hadn't been for Harry Dolman,. Thank goodness he decided to see through his support of Dicks and his development of the club with home grown youth.

miser Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Takes me back - went to the Norwich game, but couldn't do the Charlton as it was a school night (my parents decision, not mine). Great years - we seemed to fight off relegation every year waiting for something good to happen.....!
