Magnificent book and was the main source of data up to that date for the Citystats website when it was created.

City were in Div 1 whilst Crewe were in the Central League. They had been in the 2nd division until 1896 and didn't get back in the League until 1923. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also remember plating Aylesbury the year after Aylesbury were my ‘non-league’ team back then (place of birth) pleased City got past that test but I remember going to a pre season friendly against them, maybe the summer after and City getting well beat despite a decent line up.

Keith Cooper, who I believe is Steve's dad. League had plenty of Welsh refs then, not anymore. Always remember Lester Shapter from torquay! The groans when he was announced as the ref!

Malago Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 6 hours ago, Lanterne Rouge said: I thought it was Spurs when they were Southern League or something like that. Still, we can ignore that - over 100 years ago doesn`t count for me. A century of it never happening whereas some sides don`t even go a decade! 23rd Feb 1903. FA Cup, Spurs 1 Bristol City 0. Spurs were indeed a Southern League team at the time. So that’s two FA cup defeats to non league sides. You can’t even argue that we’ve never lost an FA cup tie to a club who are currently non league, because we lost in the cup to Wrexham in 1978.

Wilf Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Pretty sure we lost to Gillingham at home in the late 40’s and they were non-league at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct; 1946 - 47 City 1 - non league Gills 2. However like Crewe they had been a league team and were working their way back becoming one again.
